I just upgraded to KDE 3.1.1. The behavior has changed, but however the bug is not
completely gone.
Now the beginning of the "Description" line is displayed ok ("Headers of original mail
which triggered this messag"). However, as soon as I make the window wide enough
to display the final "e" of message, this is displayed half a line up. If I make it even
wider, nothing follows (i.e. the continuation line "(for spam/abuse tracking)" is never
seen). But, it seems to depend on how fast I resize the description column: if I resize it
fast enough, more letters are shown half a line up. Moreover, after a window refresh
(triggered by covering the message structure by another window, and then removing
it), behavior is as before: first line on top of second.
Btw, just noticed: the example above was mangled by bugzilla: the continuation line is
supposed to start with 4 spaces (else it wouldn't be a legal continuation line). Would it
be possible to add a "preview" mode to bugzilla, to help spot such formatting issues
early?

Version: 1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-pre5 If you receive a mail which has an attachment whose Content-Description tag is multi-line (i.e. has a continuation line, like in the example below), then the display in the "message structure" pane behaves funny (I mean the middle pane on the right hand side, which shows the "structure" of the message in a tree-like format). For example, if the header of the attachment is as follows (note the continuation line "(for spam/abuse tracking)"): ------------=_1048933729-3273-0 Content-Type: text/plain; name="mailheaders.txt" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mailheaders.txt" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Headers of original mail which triggered this message (for spam/abuse tracking) then kmail tries to display the content description as two lines, but unfortunately, it allocates only enough screen real estate for one line: you get the lower half of the first line, and the upper half of the second. Interestingly enough, it does not happen if you make your window small enough that it cuts before message (i.e. if message would exceed the right hand border, the funny behavior does not happen). This leads me to think that for real-estate calculation, kmail assumes that the newline character is a space (... and that the continuation line would be displayed to the right hand side of the first line), but that for the actual displaying, kmail takes the newline character as what it is, and attempts to display the second line underneath the first. IMHO, it would be preferable if kmail considered the newline character as a space for both actions.
