Description Branimir Amidzic 2017-09-20 21:11:37 UTC

I have a problem with displaying of some emails. "Some" means that I noticed this problem only on mails that I send to myself (BCC) and not to mails that other people send to me. I don't know why it should make the difference...

The problem is that these emails are displayed like source text. For example:

START -------
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--nextPart18849102.z2M5TSk1NK
Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="nextPart1707749.fno8PCFPKE"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--nextPart1707749.fno8PCFPKE
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="nextPart1674577.pBNLayei6U"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7Bit

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--nextPart1674577.pBNLayei6U
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Po=C5=A1tovani =C4=90or=C4=91e,
------- STOP

(The last line is the text contained in the mail.)

After comparing this message in Inbox folder, Sent folder and on the server, I noticed that messages on the server and Sent folder are equal, but the message in Inbox folder differs from them in one line.

Kmail2 changed this line:
Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="nextPart18849102.z2M5TSk1NK"
to:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

So, because in my Inbox folder I have this second line, the message is not displayed correctly. Why would this happen?

Please see the two attachment for file differences (only showing relevant data and modified personal data).

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

Comment 4 Branimir Amidzic 2022-11-10 09:03:43 UTC

Unfortunately, I'm not using KMail any more. I had too many issues, not only with kmail, but with Akonadi also.
I switched to Thinderbird long time ago, so I can't test it.
Regards,
Branimir
