There is no reason for either render_incoming_message() or
render_markdown() to require full UserProfile objects just to
triage alert words.
By only asking for user_ids, we save extra queries in two
callpaths and we make it easier to start using user_ids in
do_send_messages().
We were using relative URLs for realm emojis in missed message emails.
Since the email server is not same as the Zulip server and doesn't
have the realm emoji files, they were rendered as broken images. This
commit fixes them to use absolute URL.
Fixes: #5692.
We used shortnames for mentioning users before we had autocomplete
feature. Since we now have autocomplete typeahead, this syntax is
no more useful and just causes problems. This commit removes the
shortname mention syntax.
Fixes: #4189.
This fixes 2 issues:
* The term "@-mentioned" is simplified to "mentioned".
* We would incorrectly list other people who sent context messages as
among the people who mentioned you.
Now, in the event of messages between two other members of a huddle,
the missed message emails are threaded in "Group PMs with name1 and
name2" and not in separate threads by sender.
Also, now the order of recipients in get_display_recipient consistent
with the order of names that appears in the list of personal messages
on the left sidebar.
Fixes most of #4553.
The example_user() function is specifically designed for
AARON, hamlet, cordelia, and friends, and it allows a concise
way of using their built-in user profiles. Eventually, the
widespread use of example_user() should help us with refactorings
such as moving the tests users out of the "zulip.com" realm
and deprecating get_user_profile_by_email.
We used to use constructions like
from_email = "Zulip <%s>" % (settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS,)
but no longer do. All references to settings.NOREPLY_EMAIL_ADDRESS in the
codebase now do not append a display name.
This of course only works in the 2 minute window where missed-message
emails are planned, but nonetheless likely avoids common cases of
emailing users with deleted messages.
Fixes: #3873.
Missed-message email replies using the reply-to of
noreply@zulipchat.com shouldn't advertise that "just replying" will
work.
Rebased and commit message rewritten by tabbott.
Fixes#3965.
