Description Eike Suthau 2002-05-18 14:05:53 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4 (using KDE 3.0.0 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.10-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

I'd like to be able to attach directories (in my case that's mostly LaTeX documents with images) to my mails without having to create an archive in first place.(which I'll have to remove afterwards anyway)

I imagine a dialog asking for the type of archive (tar.gz/tar.bz2/zip) or if all files should be attached individually.

Thank you very much in advance and also for your great work on KMail so far.

Regards 
eike
