Kmail "Source" of e-mail
I wonder if we are giving up because it's too long? If i try to forward the email as inline, it knows there's text (it will take a long time to open the window, defenitely something to improve too). I will look at it. Git commit 9290e745102049bd3d9908cf94cd995765550c15 by Laurent Montel. Committed on 04/02/2026 at 12:20. Pushed by mlaurent into branch 'master'.
