(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.1.52 Severity: wishlist When I reply or forward a message adding my .signature to the end of the thread is messy and redundant. Ideally(?) the following options could be presented to the user : - Don't automatically add - Always automatically add - Always add to new messages (but not replies or forwards) - Add to new messages and forwards only - Insert above rest of message on forwards and replies. Cheers Jedd.
Optional signatures work fine, but when used, please add to the top of the inline reply text.
Adding to the above list: - Add the sig only if it is not contained in any of the Re:s or Fwd:s This comes in handy at the office where the same mail gets Re:d an Fwd:d a lot of times, and deleting the sig each time is a painful task. Regards Hrishikesh
Wow .. there can't be many four-digit four-year-old KDE bugs left, can there? (Bwahahahaha) Ahem. Anyhoo, this (now that I'm sitting here with kmail 1.7.1 under KDE 3.3.2) bug still exists. Although it's morphed ever so slightly. I don't want my signature on forwarded emails, particularly since forwarded emails aren't quoted, and the signature is put at the end -- it ends up making it look like I wrote text that I did not. This is uncool. I don't want my signature inserted above someone else's text, either, cos that's just plain ugly. (Top-posting is a sin, etc -- some of us still grok netiquette.) If I reply to something addressed specifically to me, my signature appears. If I reply to something that I got via a mailing list, say, then my signature isn't inserted. It also seems to vary depending on whether I'm in the inbox, or elsewhere (but that might be a result of the To: addressing). Gotta love consistency. It'd be really nice to be able to use Kontact/kmail and reply or forward messages safe in the knowledge that my signature hasn't rudely popped into it somewhere.
If there were a %SIGNATURE command for the templates everybody could define for every kind of mail (new, reply, forward...) where the signature should be placed automatically (or if no signature should be inserted automatically).
