Description Luis Silva 2011-09-12 18:16:22 UTC

Version:           4.8 pre (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

When opening an email from outside kmail (through lionmail, for example) The email window is shown with the message and all headers as if it were opened from inside kmail. However, the reply button and actions are disabled making it impossible to reply to messages from outside kmail2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open an email from outside kmail2 by using lionmail or by openning an mbox file in dolphin.

Actual Results:  
Cannot reply to the sender of the email although the required information is available.

Expected Results:  
Can always reply to a message sender irrespectively of how the message was opened.

It's not a kmail bug ?
If you open outside kmail it's not kmail no ?

Well, I submitted the bug against kmail because I thought it provided the mail viewer. If that is not the case, feel free to redirect this bug to the apropriate product. However, I am referring to the window/componnent that opens when you double-click a message in kmail. It is the same as when you open an mbox from dolphin or a message from lionmail. This componnent just behaves differently when starting from outside kmail. 
I am attaching a screenshot showing this behavior. I saved the above message to an mbox file on disk. The window on the left was opened by navigating to the folder where I saved the file to with dolphin and then:
right-click mbox -> Open with... -> Kmail view
The window on the right was openned by double clicking on the message in kmail.

See also bug 281530, suspect they are the same root cause.

I fixed some bug about it in master/4.7.3
could you verify that it's ok for you ?

Comment 6 Luis Silva 2011-10-30 20:34:23 UTC

I can confirm that this seems to be resolved in master. Actions like "Move to Trash" and "Create to-do" are not working yet, though. Anyway, thanks a lot for your effort.

So I close it. Regards
