Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Gentoo Packages I am not sure if this really is a bug but here it goes: I got an email from a trac system which reads like the attached message. It does not get displayed correctly - I believe because of the errors in the bas64 encoding. The mail is readable however when using sylpheed-claws. Is it possible to display a mail like this with kmail so that the content will be readable? Is this a kmail problem or is it the mail? If it is the mail: Is it possible to make kmail a little more error-prone to this? I understand that I cannot expect a broken mail to be displayed correctly - yet life would be easier if it was readable like in sc.

I'm not the encoding guru, but I ask myself, how can such a mail be displayed correctly ? The Content-Transfer-Encoding says base64, but the content is partly plain text (the line 'has trailing "-"') and partly base64 encoded. In my test I just removed the 'has trailing "-"' line and, voila, the text is shown correctly. For me it's also not clear, what that single half-line 'has trailing "-"' shall mean at all, because the complete decoded rest says (see below). So I'd say, this is not worth looking into any further. #79: VERSION string in resulting shell script has trailing "-" -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: anonymous | Type: enhancement Status: new | Priority: major Milestone: Version 0.8 | Version: 0.7 Keywords: | -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- -- Ticket URL: <https://faracvs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/projects/christsc-darbackup/ticket/79> christsc-darbackup <https://faracvs.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/projects/christsc-darbackup> My example project
