Description Faiyaz Ahmed 2005-03-04 19:48:27 UTC

Version:           1.7.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)

OS:                Linux

After receiving and replying to a long email (usually a thread that has gone back and forth between me and a recipient), all subsequent new composed messages (not replies, completely new and to someone else alltogether), the tail end of the long thread is is appended to the end of the new message.  This doesnt show up in the compose window, but in the sent mail.  The recipient also receives this message with the appended old message.

Example:
My complete message to my coworker was 
"Do users get emails when they have received an approval for a reservation?"

But in Sent Mail, this is the message that was sent

Do users get emails when they have received an approval for a reservation?
tatus: RS
 X-KMail-EncryptionState:  
 X-KMail-SignatureState:  
 X-KMail-MDN-Sent:  

 Up to you, but why not?

The message goes on from there which is a complete copy of the last email i replied to.  I cut it to save space.

Ive turned encryption off and disabled automatic appending of signatures.  Will check if this occurs anymore.

I dont understand... Please provide more info...

I use KMail on a daily basis and I can't confirm this bug from my experience with the program over the last two years at least.

I tried to reproduce that behaviour with KMail from trunk r860760 reusing a 'really' long back and forth sent mail and cannot confirm.

I'd suggest to close the bug since nobody was able to give additional information or confirmation.

Comment 4 Faiyaz Ahmed 2008-09-14 23:32:09 UTC

I thought I closed this ticket a long long (like 2 years) ago.  My issues went away after my upstream repackaged and released a new version.

Sorry for the inconvenience and lack of attention on my part.
