Description ahn567 2013-05-27 09:39:41 UTC 
I just upgraded from stable Debian 6 (squeeze) to stable Debian 7 (wheezy).

For Debian 7 (wheezy):  KMail Version 1.13.7 Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.4 (4.8.4)

Kmail no longer follows links within a message, Eg. from a contents table at the top of a message to 
later paragraphs in the same message. It used to work.

I had a look at the source of one such email. The anchor tags were of the form  <a name="here">  
and the links of the form  <a href="#here">.   Perhaps kmail is now expecting  id=  rather than 
name=  .   Or maybe neither of these are working anymore?

B.T.W.  The Kmail editor seems to have no way to compose a tag of the form  <a name="gohere">  or 
<a id="here">.   I could only see how to compose an  <a href= >.

 










Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Read an email with an html anchor tag in it (name= or id=) and try to jump to the anchor by following a link within the message.


Actual Results:  
Links to anchors within the same message are not followed (nothing happens when such a link is clicked).

Expected Results:  
The message viewer should display the message from the position of the anchor 
(ie. the anchor should be positioned at the 1st line in the message viewer window)

I noticed this bug when using kmail to read emails of a Yahoo group digest.

Dear Laurent

   I have just re-drected an email to you from 
AFib digest (a Yahoo group). This email illustrates the bug 
I reported. The email starts with a contents list. Clicking on an item 
in the list is supposed to take you to the relevant part 
of the email (but now does not).  This used to work in a previous 
version kmail.
