Description Sebastien 2005-03-29 18:00:49 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)

I don't understand why, but KMail still cut my mails even if they are in HTML format.
In the configuration screen I can see "[x] auto-cut at colum [78|] for text messages" but:
- I want to cut my text messages
- I don't want to cut my HTML messages

After thinking to that I would have proposed to make TWO options: one for text messages, another for HTML messages.
But it's non-sense: who would want to cut his HTML messages?
So, please apply this setting only for text messages.

Another anoying thing:
- I like to use fixed font fox text messages because theire are somtimes graphics or things that requieres characters to be aligned
- I NEVER want to use fixed font for HTML messages: use the font defined in the message or, generaly, use a sans-serif one.
Again: this option is not relevant for HTML messages.

Those settings make managing a mix of text and HTML mails a little pain.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
