Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2013-09-15 12:30:00 UTC

normal you select it for specific mail.
It will not change global settings.

Comment 2 maxime.haselbauer 2013-09-15 13:51:52 UTC

Then how am I suppose define it as global settings ?
I don't see anywhere else where I can select it

Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2013-09-15 16:39:56 UTC

Display->header->style.

Comment 4 maxime.haselbauer 2013-09-15 16:49:17 UTC

There is no 
Display->header 
In the main window of Kmail
There is one in the email window which is the one I use (see first comment) but that does NOT remember the settings

Cheers
;)

Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2013-09-16 05:17:10 UTC

Ok if you search a little...
view->headers->...

Comment 6 maxime.haselbauer 2013-09-16 07:07:32 UTC

In my version (German)
Ansicht
   /Nachrichtenliste
   /Gruppe einklappen
   /Gruppe aufklappen
   /Alle Gruppe einklappen
   /Alle Gruppe aufklappen
   /Skalierung

and then ? there is no Vorspann (header)
It only appear if I select an email and open it

Comment 7 Laurent Montel 2013-09-16 07:51:48 UTC

Oki perhaps.
Too bad for you if you didn't have default entry in kmail...
Don't know.

Comment 8 maxime.haselbauer 2013-09-17 06:59:19 UTC

Allright
Is there a way to work it around?  (aka editing a configuration file)
Do you know if this is a bug in the source code, or is it downstream (aka down to the ubuntu packagers)

Cheers

Comment 9 maxime.haselbauer 2013-10-19 10:40:10 UTC

Okay so ....? is it a source code bug or upstream bug? in which case I will report the bug to packagers...  ?

Comment 10 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:03:11 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 11 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:49:02 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.
