*** Bug 260313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** adding myself to the cc list *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** This also happens with non-HTML mails when copying text from anywhere in the mail body; not just the header. Confirmed always at Kubuntu 10.10 too. Kmail 1.13.5. I can also confirm on Kubuntu 10.10 with <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <body><h2 style="margin-top: 0px;">KMail 1.13.5</h2></body> So apparently the bug also applies to the "KMail introduction" in the Help menu... (That was an attempt to copy "KMail 1.13.5"). This bug is really awful -- any news on fixing it? I have the same issue too in Kmail 1.13.5. I think this was since my last upgrade of KDE to the 4.5.3 version. I have this bug since kde 4.3 or less Same issue with openSUSE 11.3 + KDE 4.5.5 *** Bug 261292 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Confirmed here as well. I've also noticed that when you choose to edit an email, you can then copy the text from it, which is formatted and normally (in view/read-only mode) would be copied with HTML tags. Confirmed for KMail 1.13.5 on KDE 4.5.5 (Kubuntu PPA packages). This essentially renders the clipboard unusable for e-mails, a quite serious flaw. Confirmed for KDE 4.4.5 with kmail 1.13.5. Since kubuntu 10.04 released fixes with upgrade to KDE 4.4.5, all Kubuntu user are affected. For Fedora 13 the same was reported recently: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg388782.html *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 259201 *** SVN commit 1215050 by cgiboudeaux: Revert r1190032 'Allow to copy/paste html text from an email' BUG: 259468 M +1 -14 kmreaderwin.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1215050 Git commit e1237ffb106f1aaaed45065a93bbafc638f73234 by Christophe Giboudeaux.

When will it be released? The header of this bug report says it has been fixed in 4.4.10, but I'm running 4.5.3 and this bug is still here. (In reply to comment #20) > The header of this bug report says it has been fixed in 4.4.10, but I'm running > 4.5.3 and this bug is still here. It's in 4.6.0 as well. So who can tell us when this will be finally solved??? It is really uncomfortable... Well, it looks like a fix was committed (see comments 15 and 16). KDE 4.6.1 was supposed to be out two days ago but isn't out yet; it sounds like it'll be out tomorrow. Hopefully it has the fix. Does anyone know for sure? 4.6.1 fixes the problem for me. I'm using (Gentoo) KDE 4.6.0, Kmail and friends here are at version 4.4.10, the fix was in 4.4.10, I patched 4.4.9 on my system using the above patch, and I'm been very thankful for it. ymmv It works for me in Gentoo: KMail 1.13.6, KDE 4.6.00. I'm not sure which options (where are they??) that may be relevant here, but for one I have Folder > 'Prefer HTML to Plain text' unticked. I had this problem before (the HTML tags were included in the copied text) but now it's gone. However, I can't guarantee I haven't changed the settings ever since. I'm still seeing the bug in Kubuntu's 4.6.1 release. Does anyone else still have issues in 4.6.1? If not, I guess I should take it up with them. (In reply to comment #27) > I'm still seeing the bug in Kubuntu's 4.6.1 release. Does anyone else still > have issues in 4.6.1? If not, I guess I should take it up with them. I'm guessing it wont get fixed until KDEPIM 4.6 is released and the devs are doing their best to make the transition as seamless as can be (thinking back on all the Akonadi trouble we've had earlier). In the mean time use the selection clipboard (mark text, paste with MMB). It's a PITA but I've rather have a _stable_ Akonadi based KDEPIM than having to deal with unresolved Akonadi issues. I hope my pidgin like English makes any sense :-) I am having the issues with KDE 4.6.1 too. Looks like Kubuntu still has Kontact 4.4.9, not 4.4.10. That could be the problem. m.wege@web.de, what version of Kontact do you have? indeed, it is 4.4.9 *** Bug 270472 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry for the confusion: it's fixed in kdepim 4.4.10, not in KDE 4.4. The easy way to check is to look at your KMail version (help / About). it must be 1.13.6. *** Bug 261936 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** It is still 1.13.5 in Kubuntu 10.10. Then go to Launchpad and complain to Canonical that they don't ship that update. (In reply to comment #36) > Then go to Launchpad and complain to Canonical that they don't ship that > update.
