Description Johan Erlands 2012-10-18 12:14:55 UTC
I get a mail that uses the base tag. When i look  at the links (hoover the mouse over them) included in the mail i see that the base url is excluded and file:// is used instead.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send this mail using telnet or whathever:
<html>
  <head>
    <base href="http://bugs.kde.org"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <a href="test.html">link</a>
  </body>
</html>

2. Look at the mail in kmail. kmail is ignoring the base tag. and is adding file:// prefix insted. 

Actual Results:  
link points to: file:///test.html

Expected Results:  
link points to: http://bugs.kde.org/test.html
