View the HTML portion of the attached email in MH-E and Gnus.  Both will
display "https://fsf.org" in red and put a caution emoji after it,
because the link doesn't actually point to https://fsf.org.  Good so
far.

In Gnus, if you mouse over the link, the actual target appears in the
echo area.  And if you mouse over the caution emoji, you'll see text in
the echo area that tells you that the link target doesn't match the link
text.  Also good so far.

In MH-E, if you mouse over the link or emoji, you get text in the echo
area that tells you how to follow the link.  There's no explanation
given for the red text or the caution emoji, which is a bug IMO.

I tracked this down to MH-E's use of goto-address when displaying a
message (mh-display-msg > mh-show-addr > goto-address).

I can think of a couple ways to deal with this, but I'm not sure what
the right way forward is.  The simplest approach would be for
mh-display-msg to stop using goto-address.  I'm not happy with that
approach because it removes functionality that MH-E has had for awhile.  

A slightly more sophisticated approach would be to not use goto-address
when using shr to render the message.  That loses some functionality
(like the auto-linkification of email addresses), and it seems kind of
kludgey, but I suppose it's not too terrible.

Another possibility would be to make goto-address smarter, so that it
doesn't stomp on whatever it was that shr did to get the mouse-over
text.

I'm happy to take a stab at a fix, but I could use some guidance on the
right direction to go in.

thanks,
mike

I guess the latter, but it will have to be on master, since I'm quite
sure the changes will not be safe enough for the release branch.

Thanks.

I finally have some progress to report.

The root cause of the fontification conflict between goto-address and
shr/textsec is that the textsec code uses text properties,
goto-address uses overlays, and overlays override text properties.

So one possible approach to fix this would be for the textsec code to
use overlays, and give the textsec overlay a higher priority than the
goto-address overlay.

I see a couple potential drawbacks with that approach:

1. shr originally used overlays; it was changed to use text properties
because of performance concerns (see
https://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-diffs/2013-06/msg00215.html).  Of course,
that was over 10 years ago, and processors are faster now.  And maybe
shr could use overlays for the textsec stuff and text properties
everywhere else?

2. AFAICT, there's no system for coordinating overlay priorities across
different packages or subsystems.  I think that makes the priority
mechanism brittle, and for that reason I'm reluctant to use it.

So I lean towards having goto-address leave text alone (don't set an
overlay) if it finds text properties set for the text.

If you have any recommendations or other comments, please let me know.

thanks,
mike

Not just any properties: only 'face' properties, right?

I think this is okay, if we don't have better tricks up our sleeves.
I added Stefan Monnier in the hope that he could have some
suggestions.

Hmm.  shr-tag-a sets these properties, with shr-urlify doing most of the
work:

- face ('shr-link')
- shr-url
- button
- category
- help-echo
- follow-link
- mouse-face

If the URL is suspicious, shr-tag-a also inserts a triangular warning
symbol with a 'help-echo' property.

So if I just care about conflicts between goto-address and shr, I guess
I could just check for the 'shr-link' face.  I'd prefer to have a more
general test, so I think I want to check for any of

- face
- help-echo
- mouse-face

and maybe

- button
- follow-link

as well.  What do you think?

thanks,
mike

AFAIU from your analysis of the problem, it happens because the same
text is covered by both a text property and an overlay with the same
property.  If that is indeed the reason, then the only conflict that I
could see in this situation is for the 'face' property: both shr-tag-a
and goto-address use it, one as a text property and the other as an
overlay property.  The other properties you mention aren't used by
goto-address, so they cannot conflict with what shr-tag-a.  Am I
missing something?

Testing unrelated properties might give us false positives, so I think
we should avoid that.

In this case the problem is that two packages compete for the same URL.
I think it makes sense for goto-address to "leave text alone" in this
case, but the question remains of how to detect *this* situation.

The underlying text having a `face` property doesn't seem sufficient
(especially since multiple `face` properties get merged, so the
conflict is less severe).
Maybe it should check for the presence of `help-echo and (follow-link
or keymap)`?  And make sure the those properties cover exactly the same
chunk of text?

Yes, goto-address also sets the 'help-echo' and 'mouse-face' properties,
though the latter is only set for email addresses.  (Sorry, I didn't
call this out in my earlier email.)

> Testing unrelated properties might give us false positives, so I think

Agreed about trying to avoid false positives.

The complete list of overlay properties that goto-address-fontify sets
is

- evaporate
- face
- follow-link
- goto-address
- help-echo
- keymap
- mouse-face

We agree about checking for 'face'.  I'm still holding out for checking
for 'help-echo' and 'mouse-face'.  After reviewing the documentation for
the other properties, I'd also like to check for 'keymap' and
'follow-link'.  I don't see a reason to check for 'evaporate'.
'goto-address' is not documented and appears to be used to mark the
overlay as belonging to goto-address, so no need to check for it.

As far as covering the same chunk of text, I'll need to play with this
some more to see what works.  shr-tag-a inserts a warning emoji with a
help-echo property, which goto-address somehow manages to clobber.  That
warning emoji is not something goto-address would normally be looking
for.

Ping!  How can we make some progress with this bug report?

I did figure out why goto-address is clobbering the help-echo property
on the warning emoji.  goto-address uses goto-address-url-regexp to
identify URLs.  shr puts the emoji immediately after the suspicious URL,
and apparently the regexp includes the emoji as part of the URL.

  https://badurl.com⚠️

I haven't completely reverse-engineered the regexp.  I see that it's
built from a list of URI schemes and thing-at-point-url-path-regexp.
Maybe thing-at-point-url-path-regexp needs to be pickier?  But I don't
understand how things should work in light of internationalized URLs.

I've thought about having goto-address bail out if there are any
conflicting properties in the range that it wants to overlay, but I
haven't had time to prototype it to see how well that works.

I suppose another possibility would be to move the warning emoji: put it
in front of the suspicious URL, rather than after the URL.

WDYT?
