Description Tom Emerson 2003-01-31 04:06:23 UTC
Version:           1.5 (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Prior to version 1.5, forwarding a message would place the body of the message to be forwarded as the body of the new message; after the update, forwarding a message causes the original message to be inserted as an attachment.

I don't see anything documenting this as "new & expected behavior", so if it is, how do I turn it off?  [I want to EDIT the contents of what I'm forwarding -- often I'm sending stuff from one mailing list to another and I want to drop the "automatic footers" of the original message because they obviously don't apply to the "other" list...]

hmmm... last minute check -- I *just now* noticed a small black triangle indicating that the "forward" button has alternate actions -- ok, I do see "forward inline" and I see that it does "do what I want", but even though it is the first item in the sub menu, it doesn't appear to be the default [I've downgraded this from "bug" to "wishlist", but I'm surprised the developers didn't think of this -- any time you allow a button to have "multiple personalities", SOMEONE isn't going to like what you pick as the "default" -- there should be a way for the end user to specify which form of "forwarding" should be the default]

doing some more "in depth" searching I find that this is a duplicate of bug #53063 
[http://lists.kde.org/?l=kmail&m=104273113525305&w=2] 
 
I guess the keywords I used to describe this didn't match well enough to show up in the 
"duplicate check" page [ain't english a wunnerful language? ;) ]
