Sort messages by arrival time #60
Comments
Well, sorting messages by arrival time creates other problems, eg. when several messages send (or forwarded!) do not come in in the correct order. The easiest solution here may be to let your chat partner adjust the time. Another idea may be to figure out a "time offset" and correct the incoming time, but, for now, I have no idea how this can be done. Any help on this issue is welcome! |
Thanks for your reply :-)
Possibly (hopefully not likely).
That's done meanwhile. Still, the issue could 'annoy' new Delta Chat users. I see these lines in the mail header: Received: ...for <DeltaChat@...>; Sat, 25 Mar 2017 10:16:04 +0100 <-- correct time on the mail server

I usually sort emails by reception order in Thunderbird, I don't really care for the datetime of the sender's device. May be Delta could sort this way too. |
Well, I think in a "timelined" chat, the order of the messages is much more important. I think, the "sending time" is more useful. Image messages as "my bus arrives in 60 minutes" which are worthless if they're timestamped on receiving eg. 30 Minutes too late as there is no internet in between. But I also see the problem with bad sending timestamps on the senders site, I think we can solve this issue as follows:

Much appreciated :-) 'Another user', that includes me (the addressee) as well? Thanks again! |
Yes. |
Okay, this is implemented and will be available in Delta Chat 0.1.24, see deltachat/deltachat-core@e8a8ee1 for details |
I have the following problem:
The device local time of my chat partner is wrongly set (let's say 2 days in the past).
All messages arriving from him/her are then put into the chat history, however 2 days in the past.
That's really hard to find, and confusing ...
It would be good to have an option to sort messages by arrival time
(or other times like mail server delivery time).
Otherwise, I'm already a fan of Delta Chat :-), thanks for this nice initiative!
