I confirm this wish. This feature is still not present in kmail 1.4.3 (I have still not tested the latest version). This is a real problem when receiving attachments from Mac users with Eudora. I have forgotten to add that this automatic conversion of Mac/Binhex files does exist in mozilla mail. I can send an example file in attachment if necessary. Subject: Re: E-Mail Attachments in BinHex Format Please send a small example to 32047@bugs.kde.org. Furthermore please send us a link or a description of the BinHex format. *** Bug 47744 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Subject: binhex attachments Here is an example of Binhex attachment. This is an rtf file encode with Binhex. Created an attachment (id=834) Enseignements,_RTF I have sent an example file (rtf file encoded with Binhex). You can find a similar discussion of the Binhex encoding in the evolution bugzilla : http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17218 Usually ,I decode these Binhex files with the hexbin command : hexbin -U file This hexbin commande is located in the "macutils" package, available for most of the distributions (Mandrake, RH, debian, PLD, ...). This package has a GPL style licence. Google "binhex format" send : http://www.macdisk.com/binhexen.php3 I don't know more on the binhex format. *** Bug 54655 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm that this feature is still desired -- I occasionally get binhex attachments which I'm unable to decode directly in KMail. However, I note that there is a bin->hex and hex->bin converter available as part of the macutils package. I can't find a home page for this package, but it's available with many common GNU/Linux distributions. I don't know how it's licenced, but if it's GPL-compatible, then I'm sure it would be a simple matter to integrate it into KMail.

Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. |
