Description mi+kde 2003-09-16 15:41:37 UTC

Version:           1.5.2 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 [FreeBSD] 20030711 (prerelease)
OS:          FreeBSD (i386) release 5.1-CURRENT

When an attachement to a mail message is itself a mail message, the only thing, that can be done to it currently, is viewing.

For consistency and convenience, it should be possible to do most/all other things, that can be done to a message -- forward, resend, copy into a mailbox, print, etc.

An immediate example would be the new ability to quickly resend messages with previously mistyped addresses. Such messages will be returned by the mail-server -- as attachments. At the moment one has to find the corresponding message in the "Sent" folder (if any) and resend it, or create a new one.

The message viewer does in the meantime allow to do basically everything with the viewed message that can also be done to the message in the main window. So all you have to do is view the message and then do whatever you want to do.

*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.

Ingo! Are you sure, we are talking about the same thing? Message Viewer will display the whole message in the mailbox -- with attachments...

I'm talking about the situation, when one (or more) of the attachments is itself an e-mail message such as that returned by an e-mail server or part of the mailing list digest...

Sorry, I'll re-open for now. Thanks!

Is this a duplicate of 60089?

Comment 6 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-18 08:46:02 UTC

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Comment 7 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:00:08 UTC

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.

Comment 8 Ian Turner 2012-09-01 22:59:37 UTC

This issue is still relevant as of KDE 4.9
