Attachments: a non valid mail

Description Sandro Knauß 2013-03-03 22:06:14 UTC 
The source View for an email tries to be smart and wants to make the mail vaild to the contentTransferEncoding header. If you have a non valid mail (content is not in the right contentTransferEncoding), this this looks freaky and makes it hard to locate any kind of bug. One example of the wrong source view interface you find at bug https://bugs.kde.org/289728.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use a non valid mail (ContentTransferEncoding doesn't match with content) [see attchment].
2. open this mail with View Source in kmail.
Actual Results:  
Source view shows the mail like this:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Comment 2 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:19:02 UTC 
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 3 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:23:59 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
