Bug 260638

Version:           1.13.6 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux (openSUSE packages)

I have the same problem with another version of Kmail. A simple example bash script acting as a filter would e.g. be:

#!/bin/bash
sed -n '1h;1!H;${;g;s/foo/bar/g;p;}'

If I save this script to a file, make it executable, add it to my PATH and then use it in a Kmail filter action "pipe through" for incoming messages, the messages are not changed. However, if I apply the filter via the menu "Apply Filter", the messages are changed.

I'd like to withdraw my previous comment. I made a mistake by searching for a header field which is only added by Kmail after the "pipe through" filter action.

I have exactly the same problem :(
I have a script shich should replace a character by another one:
----8<----------
#!/bin/bash
sed -n '1h;1!H;${;g;s/-/*/g;p;}' > /tmp/filter.txt ; cat /tmp/filter.txt
----8<----------
I added it to the filter settings (pipe through).
When I apply this filter to an email, the email body does not change. How ever when I check the content of /tmp/filter.txt, it contains the changed email.
Or when I run the script in the terminal

echo "aaa-bb-cc" | Scripts/kmail_sleepanalyser_bug_filter.sh

it returns the changed content.

So this means to me that my script works, how ever kmail seems not to take the changed content.

Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?

Has there been a regression for this bug? I'm seeing this exact behavior with 4.8RC2 when (manually) applying a pipe-through-bogofilter filter to a message in my input folder. Using the tee construct in the original bug report, the /tmp/out.txt contains the expected X-Bogosity header whereas the file in the input folder does not. Both files have the same modification date, however.

This is on NetBSD-current (I'm working on a port of 4.8).

I confirm the problem reappears on manual filtering in kmail 4.9.
Can this bug be reopened?

Give exacte method, filter that you use for reproduce it please.

Just as Sverre Froyen described, when I click on an existing email and do "Apply all filters", then my filter rule with a pipe through action is triggered and the command launched as shown by filter log viewer and output of the command stored with tee, but the message is left unchanged. The filter works correctly on newly incoming mails.

Script to edit mails with 'Pipe through'

I'm using KMail version 4.9.5 and I get the same behavior described above.
I have a script that copies the whole message (STDIN) to a temporary file, opens an editor with that file, waits for the editor to close and then cat's the file to STDOUT. I use it in manual filtering with 'Pipe through', but now it doesn't change the message (the temporary file is correctly changed)
I upload the script and request the bug to be re-opened.
