Description Dotan Cohen 2007-02-09 00:48:08 UTC
Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

In the rare instances where one must FWD an email that was forwarded to him, the email body contains the email addresses of all those to whom the email was addressed in the past. Forwarding an email like this is bad because all the future recipricants will then see all the previous email addresses, which leads to the proliferation of spam.

I propose a tool that would replace all email addresses in the email body with a text string ("--@--", "ADDRESS REMOVED", or similar) that indicates that there email addresses had been removed.

I would opt for more flexible option "smart quote". Currently there is only single option, but I have already posted report on splitting it into two, here is another example, so this should be really a whole section with

a) smart quotation
b) smart sig removal
c) smart e-mail address removal from headers

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.
