Works as expected with GMail and your example. Please save your sent message (file/save as..) and attach it to this report. I have attached the file I sent myself. I composed it in kontact/kmail and viewed it in Gmail (online). Here is the difference I see. What I wrote, saved, and is in my Sent folder in kmail: --- --- --- This is a test message I am writing to myself. I am trying to find words to fill up this paragraph so it wraps a bit. I don't really like lorem ipsum generators -- so boring. But I have a knack for finding anything to blabber on about. Perhaps I could be the culprit in a Holmes mystery where the pages I write on a full of gibberish but made of gold. So this paragraph should have a blank line above it. it should not be directly touching the immediately preceding paragraph. Of course, with my luck, something will work right and prove me wrong. I have TWO blank lines above this one to show another example. I hope this helps diagnose the issue. FWIW, this paragraph has ONE blank line above it. --- --- --- What I see in Gmail: --- --- --- This is a test message I am writing to myself.

Can that be simplified a bit? I will attach the mbox file momentarily. Created attachment 60004 [details]

Whatever the cause is, the issue cannot be reproduced with KMail2. The bug will be fixed in kdepim 4.6.
Marking as Resolved.
I have been able to use KDE 4.6 in a VM of Kubuntu 11.04 and I can confirm this is fixed. (Kontact 4.4.10 and KMail 1.13.6 v. 4.4.8 and 1.13.5 in my daily environment.) Thank you sooooooooo much to whoever fixed this!!!!!! This was a hugely annoying problem and I look forward to updating my daily environment so I can rid myself of this annoyance! Very cool. |
