Description piedro 2013-08-12 13:57:08 UTC

When I reply to a message that includes any image the "reply" or "Forward" function doesn't cite the whole message. The citation stops exactly at the point where an image file was inserted in the original message: 

a message like: 

"bla bla bla 
bla <inserted image> bla 
bla bla bla 

greetings, 
blabla" 

gets cited as: 

"> bla bla bla 
 > bla" 

and that's it. 

The serious problem is that if a message starts with a logo or background image (as many do) nothing gets cited at all. 

Also it seems to me that this leads to empty mails when a filter like spamassassin for example manipulates the header. 

These mails are marked as "non html mail" but I wonder whether this is correct (can you insert an image in a pure text mail?) 



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive a mail with image 
2. press reply or forward
3. check the inline citation of the message with the original message
Actual Results:  
everything behind the image is missing

Expected Results:  
nothing should be missing, at most there should be a placeholder or marker at the image position

funny thing is that just sometimes it works as expected with the same mail it hasn't worked correctly before ... I have no lue how this could be ... 


thx for reading, 
piedro

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.

I switched to gnome for productive work, sry, 
I can not provide anymore specific information on later versions... 

thx anyway, p.

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.
