Description Bernd Wurst 2005-05-23 11:36:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When I forward a message with "forward inline", the Original "Received", "Deleivered-To" and other headers are preserved and put into the forwarded message's header.

This is IMHO unnecessary and dump, but it really breaks with QMail.

We have the following scenario: An address gets filtered by message size, bis messages are bouncing to the admin. I and one of the admins. ;-) When such a message arrives, I have to forward it without attachment and put the attachment on the webspace.

That is, the message should be forwarded to the original destination address. When Doing so with KMail, I get this bounce from QMail:
| Hi. This is the qmail-send program at YYY.de.
| I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
|This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
|
|<XXX@YYY.de>:
|This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)

This is because the first delivery attempt (filtered by the server) creates a Delivered-To-Line and the forwarded Message also has this line (due to this bug) before reaching the server the second time.

Just ran into this in KMail 3.4 in Ubuntu.  We were hoping to switch from Evolution to KMail but this is a complete show-stopper.  Our users would kill us if they couldn't forward emails to themselves, or to lists which contain themselves.
