Description Olivier Fisette 2003-10-06 21:46:54 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GNU Make 3.80 
OS:          Linux

I have KMail configured to use the content of a Unicode text file as my signature. My locale is set to use the Unicode encoding.

When I start KMail and create a new message, my signature file is correctly loaded. When KMail is running and I print a file (from a KDE application) to a PDF attachment, my signature is correctly loaded in the new composer window. However, if KMail IS NOT running when I print a file to a PDF attachment, the signature gets imported as an iso 8859-1 text file (rather than Unicode), and the configuration dialog incorrectly reports that iso 8859-1 is my locale. (When the composer is run from the main KMail window or from a link in an HTML page (wheter or not KMail is running), it correctly reports Unicode as my locale).

Looks like kdeprint starts KMail in some non-standard way and should have a look at Konq?

Marc: you need to reassign the bug owner too if you change the product

 window is not opened.

KMail is called using the following command:

kmail --composer --attach file:/path/to/file.pdf
(see kdelibs/kdeprint/specials.desktop)

Could you tell me how to call it then?

Have a look at how Konq does it. I'd expect it to use kapp->invokeMailer
() or else call it through kmailservice...

KDEPrint calls it from a script, you cannot rely on kapp.

As far as I can tell from kapplication.cpp, invokeMailer() (used
by kmailservice) doesn't support attachment specification (code is
commented out).
