Description Adrian von Bidder 2003-10-21 10:10:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

Hi,

This is relevant because it makes mail bounce with some extremely pedantic mail systems, including ABUSE@NIC.IT.

When I forward a mail as attachment, kmail adds a Content-Transfer-Encoding header to the MIME header for the message/rfc822 message part, which, as far as I understand the rfc, MUST NOT be done. It is supposed that the attached message has to be properly encoded.

cheers

Verified, as requested. Problem is still there as of KDE 3.2.2.

Comment 2 Andreas Gungl 2005-06-12 21:20:06 UTC

Still valid for KMail 1.8.1 (KDE 3.4.1).

Merging this with #108939
