Description Gábor Nagy 2005-04-19 15:35:43 UTC
Version:           1.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I regularly receive from mailman mailing lists MIME Digests.

The individual messages are mime parts, and in kmail they show up as encapsulated messages.

I would like to handle these encapsulated messages as individuals, delete some, move one out of the digest into a folder, or reply to a specific message, replying to the sender or to the mailing list, quoting only the specific part, keeping the thread information, etc.

I see that bug #60813 claims that reply should be working as of KDE 3.2

But it does not.

When I right click on the "encapsulated message" text, I only have the opportunity to open it (save or open with kwrite), view it in a kmail window, but there is no way to reply.

When I click, it tries to open (save/kwrite)

Even if I switch on the message structure viewer, that does not help. I can click on the message that I want to manipulate, it opens in the preview pane, but I cannot move it, when I press del, the whole digest is deleted, and when I click reply, the digest is replied, with the list head quoted only.

I would expect that when I right click, there will be reply and delete in the menu.

I would expect that clicking on the encapsulated message opens it (view) in a kmail window, but in one, where I have some buttons, like reply, forward, print, delete, etc. So in a window similar that appears when I open a single normal message.

Also I would like to highlight a mime part and drag it into a folder. Right now it just selects everything.

A strange thing is (and probably the reason why these things do not work) that when I view the same digest in mutt, it lists the mime parts as message/rfc822, but kmail lists them as Plain Text Document.

Probably it does not realize that these are messages?

Cheers,
Gabor

Cheers, Gabor

Appears to be the same for KDE 3.4.0 / KMail 1.8. If I receive a MIME digest, I cannot find any way to reply to an individual part. I can only reply to the whole digest (which gives the digest's summary Subject rather than the message, breaks threading etc)

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.

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