I often reply to comments on Facebook by simply replying to notification emails.
Some of Facebook’s notification emails are plain text, while others are full HTML.
When I reply to HTML emails, part of the code ends up in the comment i.e. <font><>blah blah blah</><screw this crap<<.> My comment.
There are no problems replying to plain text emails.
1.Has anyone else found this?
2.Is there a way to force the WP7 email programme to use plain text when replying?
Or
3. Is there a setting in Facebook so that all emails are plain text?
Yes I have noticed it as well and it is very annoying. With the new Facebook messages, you can reply to facebook messages by just replying to the notification email. Even when using that, it always puts up as <HTML></HTML> format.
The only reason I currently need to open to facebook app is just to reply to the facebook messages. I would much love to reply using email.

Yeah, super annoying.
I'm going to report this bug to the Windows Phone people.
If you could cut & paste a comment with the HTML crap to this thread, I'll include it in the error report (I've deleted mine).
On a positive note, now that I've been granted my @facebook.com email address, I can now reply to messages from my Windows Live email.
Here's the offending code:
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif">My comment. <BR><BR>More of my comment<BR><BR> </DIV>
<HR>
BTW - when you reply to Facebook messages from your WP7, you also get the HTML code.
It's ironic - the WP7 has the best mobile based email programme available, yet I can't use it to the same extent as I did on WinMo 6.1.

Hello all,
I was wondering if there is an application to do this...
When I get sms messages, they are filed as individual massages, ie: not organized...
What I would like it to have them files under the sender.
Does this make sense? Is there a better way to store sms messages?
Not anything that you are asking for.. but you can try the SMS threader, which will make your SMS looks like IM chat screen (i.e. message per person). I think there is a IM SMS currently being develope. Do a search.
Yes there is. PocketCM - what is an iPhone like contact manager for wm - can do that. You can chose a view in the software when you can see all your contacts with messages. And the msgs are being displayed like chat "bubbles".
And i think you can answer the msgs too from the software. Pretty cool, check it out at pocketcm.com
I use Palm Threaded sms for that, I think is the better for that purpose.
And SMS Scheduler is freeware! I wonder why people don't use it more. Is a must for me. (I contacted the author and is aware of the date settings problem, he will make an update to fix it as soon as he got time)
look this: http://rjv-sms-scheduler.softonic.com/pocketpc
Does anyone know if there's a way to create contact groups for quickly texting or emailing a group of people?

+1.................
i wish they did integrate categories (which outlook desktop offers). but anyways, the best work around i've seen is to create a text message (which is what i'm assuming you want this for) and add all the people you want to that message. then when you send it, and view the sms inbox, you can see the text you sent and it will say "x recipients". you can then reuse the list by clicking on it and writing a new message that way.
not the best approach, but it's works for the time being.
have you checked the marketplace?
I have seen sms apps in there like one called group sms or something to that effect.
Second post on XDA!
As we all know facebook has yet to implement any push or live tile notification for their *somewhat slow* app. The only way to be notified that someone posted to your wall, sent you a message or friend requested you was to periodly check the app.
I just discovered a decent work around that possibly most of you know already. I was on the mobile facebook app on wp7 and there were options for sms notifications. Once I signed up for this, any notifications comes through as toast messages via sms. I could reply to the comments directly from the sms as well. This is excellent if like me you have unlimited messaging. The notifications come through rather quickly almost instantaneously!
A similar method is to sign up for email notifications but you do not get toasts for those.
Hope this helps
Yeah, I did this recently. Twitter has the same thing as well
Where do you get to the SMS settings?

I'm pretty sure you have to setup the SMS through the website.

Hey Andrew,
I meant I went to mobile Facebook through Internet Explorer on the phone and I was able to enter my phone number from there. As "eternalemb" also pointed out, you can set this up from Facebook website via a computer as well.
Thanks PG2G I also set up sms notifications for twitter. This works instantaneously! Neat!
The Good news is that Beezz an alternative twitter app in the Marketplace will be updating soon with toast notifications for mentions etc.
Hey guys,
A few days ago an idea came to my mind and I emailed it to Brandon Watson from Microsoft. I found his email on a blog post about hacking wp7.
I studied abroard so I use fb to talk to friends I had there. It is really nice because before I use facebook I would just lose contact. The language sqitch button is genius makes it easy to switch between the languages we mix together.
Now not everything is ment to publish on each others walls and idk how hackable the operating system is yet. But it would be very nice to send somebody a personal messagefrom the contactlist. I also suggested in the email. I could be integrated in the now plain message hub with a pivot to facebook messages. Since the operating system is very well thought out to get the job done as quickly as possible. Besides fb messages, first you get an email. Its facebook you open it, want to respond so close open fb app click post, click the new message, respond. Really slow, it would be nice to just see the messages and be able to respond directly.
The fb integration was named like a pretty big feature and for the foto,s it is but other than that not very usefull yet.
I dont know how difficult it is to add a link to the contactlist. Which links to a self build mesaaging app with all the facebook messages stored. ( I can build the app, my device is legally unlocked) but idk if its possible to add a link to that page.
Anyway is there anybody else who thought about this?
In this amazing world of Android, is there not an app that can decipher an email and add the appt to calendar? For example, I get a lot of emails advising me of the practice schedule for the coming week or two, the email has days and times and locations. Is it too much to ask to have those times automatically added to my calendar? I mean Google now goes far enoughthat it will track parcels or flights, is this not the next logical step? Is tedious to manually add them from each email. I would expect some kind of visual confirmation where you could edit any minor details of course. Any dev who could come up with this would clean up! Unless there's something like this on the market that I've overlooked?

Just a quick update, after checking, it appears that the problem is only with Gmail? If I forward these Gmail messages to Hotmail or others, the time in the body of the email is highlighted, allowing me to tap it to create a date on Samsung calendar. I have to fill in the details but that's what I'm talking about!
I guess I could create calendar date verbally with Google now. Anyone have a better way? Gmail is my main email.

Argh! I guess you mods can delete this thread. Apparently, if I open Gmail using the stock email app I can achieve what I wanted. Thanks me!

found your thread by searching the same content. I found this helpful because i have the same problem like yours, i.e. too many emails with appointment and schedule which i hardly manually enter into my calendar. switching apps also takes too many steps to complete. Ive never use Stock Email that came with the device (i am on Samsung galaxy note 3 now). Let me try see if it works. However, I found stock email app is a bit slow receiving emails, that's why ive never used it Did you find any other app that does the job? i also looking for an app which can remind me to reply emails later, because some emails come, i skim through it and will reply later when i have time. But sometimes i forget to reply, and very hard to find the mail again you have any solution for this?
cheers
