Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Reproducibility: Always, but only with certain e-mails Steps to reproduce: 1. Select a message 2. Message->Forward->Inline 3. Message composer pops up Observed behaviour: 4. The message is reproduced verbatim in the message composer, with no header indicating it is a forwarded message. The "--------------------" footer and my signature are displayed at the bottom of the message, however. Expected behaviour: 4. Message in composer should be preceded by the following text: ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Blah Date: Thursday 23 June 2005 16:43 From: Foo <foo@bar.com> To: Bar <bar@foo.com> See the attached screenshot for an example. I will also attach the message which triggers this bug.
Created attachment 11563 [details] Screenshot just after clicking the Forward (inline) button on the selected message
Created attachment 11564 [details] Source of message forwarded in Attachment #11563 [details] (as saved by KMail)
Thiago, why did you change the status from "bug" to "wishlist"? The "Forwarded Message" delimiter and the message headers are inserted for almost every other message one forwards. The fact that they are not inserted for some messages suggests that this functionality is simply broken.
I've never seen "Forwarded Message" be added in KMail, so it's a new feature wish.
I think you might be misunderstanding this bug report, Thiago. KMail normally inserts the line "------------Forwarded Message--------------" when forwarding a message inline. This is not a new feature; AFAIK KMail has *always* done this. Therefore if KMail does not insert the line on a particular forwarded message, then it is malfunctioning. I'm not sure I can make this any clearer, but if you still don't understand then let me know and I'll try. Regards, Tristan
I understood what you meant. But I've never seen KMail add "Forwarded Message" to the emails, when forwarding. It might be a bug, really. Checking the code seems to confirm what you said.
Confirming bug still exists in KDE 3.4.2
The problem might depend on a ceratin message structure. If I forward (inline) the last comment received via the kmail-devel list, I get the "--- Forwarded Message ---" text. Please check, if it works for you for some messages, but does not for others.
This looks like the same problem as Bug 140549. I am experiencing this in Ubuntu 7.04.
Confirming bug still exists in KDE 3.5.7
