Version: 1.2.5 (using KDE 3.5.7, Debian Package 4:3.5.7.dfsg.1-7 (lenny/sid)) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.7-slh-smp-1 I'm using Kmail. When I get an e-mail appendix from a friend with a Mac I cannot open it. The open file begins with the Short Description and looks in the following part like encrypted. This phenominon starts possibly with my changing from Mepis-Linux to Sidux. ? If I send the mails forward to another computer with Kubuntu, then the appendix can bo opend normaly. And I tried to send it to my one computer. If I use IceDove, than the appendix is readable.
This isn't a KMail problem. The attachment is in MacBinary format (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binhex). You need a converter to be able to read it - which the Kubuntu computer probably has installed already, but your Kmail one doesn't. There may be a package such as 'uudeview' or 'macutils' available for your distro. Duplicate of a very old wish... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 32047 ***
Jonathan Marten schrieb: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] Hi Jonathan, on other ways I also got some hints to this special problem. I installed libconvert-binhex-perl libconvert-uulib-perl macutils uudeview I restarted the computer, but nothing did help. My last hope are the people of Sidux. Cheers, Albrecht
