(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: knode Version: 0.6.1 (using KDE 2.2.2 ) Severity: normal Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.15-greased-turkey OS/Compiler notes: If an error occurs when posting a message (for example a 441 due to crossposting to mis-spelled newsgroups) knode pops up a warning box but at the same time removes the message composition window. There is no (obvious) way to get it back in order to correct the error. So the user has to start typing his text all over again. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)

I will add message for the users in KDE 3.1 (to late for 3.0) Greetings Christian -- >><< Christian Gebauer >><< gebauer@gmx.com >><< ICQ 14916140 >><<
This is indeed in CVS. However I see 5 problems : 1) there is no indication in the error dialog that the message is in the Drafts folder. 2) the error dialog is VERY small ( i.e. the error message gets wrapped several times ) Is this a general KDE problem ? 3) It may be better if the error message gets placed in the Drafts folder rather than the Output folder 4) Shouldn't the number of articles be displaced for the Drafts/Output folder ? 5) Shouldn't the Drafts folder be marked as if it had "Unread" articles ( i.e. in bold ) ? ( Shouldn't I add a new wish list for some of these :-)
I think this bug is solved, but the wishlist items should be filed ;) I will close this bug next week if nobody objects. Will have a look if the wishlist items are filed then. Rainer
CVS commit by vkrause: Use KDialogBase instead of QDialog for the send error dialog and give it a reasonable default size. CCMAIL: 35456@bugs.kde.org M +15 -55 knarticlefactory.cpp 1.77 M +3 -13 knarticlefactory.h 1.21
The error message is fixed since at least 3.2 (not sure about 3.1), the error dialog now also has a reasonable default size. Thus I consider this fixed. Concerning the Drafts vs. Output question: KMail puts messages which couldn't send into the Output folder. That makes sense IMHO since the error could be temporary (think of dial-up connections). If you are able to convince the KMail team to change this, KNode will of course follow ;)
