Bug 146019

Summary:	when you want to forward a mail, the default forward message is too simplistic, it misses the four lines under \ ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- that used to be there before like Subject, Date, From, To.

Description Pol 2007-05-27 12:26:37 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

When you click on the simple forward button, it should open a window and quote the message into a template who looks like:

-----Forwarded message----

Subject:...
Date:....
From:...
To:...

Original message


----End of forwarded message----

Currently in kde 3.5.6 and kde 3.5.7 it doesn't do it.

it doesn't quote the message, it only add FWD: in the subject.
I didn't modified the template and I havent added custom templates.

I spoke with some guys on irc.kde.org/kde and they have also the same weird problem.

I can confirm this on branches/work/kdepim-3.5.5+ sometimes. But not always.

I don't know what triggers the problem, but it seems to come and go. No recompilation is involved.

I am now building branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim to see if the problem is there too.

I also don't know what causes it. It works for one message, and for the next one it doesn't. I didn't found the system behind it, yet.

Comment 3 Patrick 2007-05-27 12:39:49 UTC

I seem to have found a pattern:

If content type of the message is not text/plain, but for example

"Content-Type: multipart/alternative;"

the header won't be inserted by KMail.
