Description Sergei Naumov 2008-09-09 22:53:54 UTC 
Version:           1.10.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
Compiler:          distributed by ALTlinux 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

When I open a plain text message in Kmail, I do not seem to be able to see a message body, just a nifty header of this message. Nothing more, just empty space.

If a message is in HTML, it gets rendered correctly.

This behaviour was also observed in KDE 4.1.0 but the issues seems to stay even in KDE 4.1.1
Comment 1 Thomas McGuire 2008-09-10 19:15:04 UTC 
Is that a single message or does it happen for all messages?
If it's a single message, can you attach it here?

plain message with no body

I attach two screenshots: one is a plain message, and the other is an HTML message.

an HTML message where the body is ok

Attached is a screenshot of Kmail displaying an HTML message which gets rendered fine
Comment 4 Sergei Naumov 2008-09-10 19:39:22 UTC 
It happens for ALL messages
Comment 5 Thomas McGuire 2008-09-11 11:13:59 UTC 
This looks like some parts of kdebase-runtime are missing. I had the same problem once when compiling from source (the subject in the header is missing and the message text was not shown), and installing kdebase-runtime solved that.
Comment 6 Sergei Naumov 2008-09-11 17:40:49 UTC 
Hmm. I do have kdebase-runtime installed. What is it that I need from there? May be the packagers did not compile in something. What might this be? Apart from stuff in /usr/share these are the binaries that live inside this package:

Comment 7 Thomas McGuire 2008-09-11 21:15:18 UTC 
The missing files are in kdebase/runtime/pics/emoticons. Please file a bug against ALTLinux that they should include that in their package. Basically, everything in runtime is required for KDE apps.

I've commited a fix in kdelibs which should make KMail more robust against this.

SVN commit 860002 by tmcguire:

Don't eat my text when the emoticons were not installed.
This fixes mail text not being displayed in KMail when kdebase-runtime wasn't
installed.
