(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.1.99 (KDE 2.0.1) Severity: grave Compiler: gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) OS: Linux 2.2.14 i686 (SuSE) This is a very interesting bug I discovered in a postscript attatchment. When kmail fetched the mail from the remote server(solaris god knows which version) it added another full stop in the middle of the file. Consequently I couldn't view the file. This did however not happen when I sent the mail to the local computer(i.e. the one I read my email from). Nor did I have any problems using netscape. Using diff to compare the attachment fetched with netscape and the attachment fetched with kmail on the remote server I got: --------- #:~ > diff dvdkmailremote.ps dvdnetscaperemote.ps 68c68 < ..1 sub]{ch-image}imagemask restore}B /D{/cc X dup type /stringtype ne{]} --- > .1 sub]{ch-image}imagemask restore}B /D{/cc X dup type /stringtype ne{]} 4177d4176 < \ No newline at end of file ---------- NOTICE THE EXTRA STOP I you want a copy of the file in question then please tell mee and I will send it to you quickly as possible. Didn't include it here as i thought it would amount to spamming to add it to the bottom of the mail. Good luck Yngve

I know what's going on. That problem appears only with pop3. All lines that start with an dot have there an extra dot prepended by the p= op=20 server because a single dot means the end of the message and KMail didn't= =20 remove that dots. I already fixed that problem some time ago in the HEAD branch but not in KD= E=20 2.0.1 since I didn't consider it that grave. Regards Michael Haeckel
