I can not reproduce this. I created a multipart/alternative base64 utf8 message from within KMail, and tried replying to it, which worked fine. Maybe it only happens to a subset of messages? Please attach your message (you can strip out some of the headers for privacy) to provide a test. I just noticed that saving a message to a file (.mbox) seems to be broken, too: The saved file is empty... I saved the message using mutt then. But when I open the mail saved file in kmail I cannot reply to it (button disabled) I may sent you that mail via PM if you pretend to delete it afterwards. -Marc Yes, please send me the mail via PM (simply add the mbox as an attachment to a mail), I'll delete it afterwards. Mail sent on 17.05.2011 23:16 Same problem here in KMail 4.7.1, I can provide a number of affected emails if needed. I seem to be affected by the same problem. My messages are 8bit-encoded, and the parts are iso-latin-2, but otherwise similar: multipart/alternative outer layer, inner layers text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2; format=flowed and text/html; charset=ISO-8859-2). When I hit "r" for reply, the text is decoded to utf-8 but then shown in iso-latin-2. There seems to be some interaction with the "Keep original charset" option, but even when it's off, for encrypted e-mails, the problem still occurs when replying to the whole e-mail - but not when the text is selected (so that only the selected part is quoted). So the work-around ends up being (a) turning off "Keep original charset" (Settings | Composer | Charset) and (b) selecting the text of encrypted e-mails before hitting "r" for reply. Please add a testmail here as attachment to be able to reproduce the problem. (And please check with current 4.10) Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
