Description Dmitri Koulikoff 2021-02-22 22:50:41 UTC

SUMMARY

I use 3 main languages for my email. For each language I have had a separate identity, that I use for new mails, replies and forwarding. In kde4 all worked perfectly. Now I've changed to kde5 and this functionality is completely broken. That made Kmail almost useless for me.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new identity with new signature, and all 4 temlates content
2. Create a new mail / reply to the incoming mail / reply to all / forward a mail
3. In the composer change your identity to the new one.

OBSERVED RESULT

You will see that the signature is changed while the text, generated by any template is unchanged.

EXPECTED RESULT

The text generated by the corresponding template should change like it was in KDE4

Please, pay attention to this bug. It is very crucial.
For the people using in the communication more than one language this bug makes Kmail almost useless.

It is REALLY a very critical problem

As Dmitri said on January 16, 2021:
It is REALLY a very critical problem
And it is still not solved. Using an HTML signature is not possible because fonts are changed automatically by the program.
I am using KDE 5.27.9 on openSUSE Tumbleweed at the moment, but also on Fedora 38 I noticed the same issues.
