Description Artemio 2004-06-19 12:44:21 UTC 
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk) 
OS:                Linux

Currently, saving message saves it as whole - with all headers and all attachments encoded. This makes collecting just the texts of the messages hard.

It would be nice to be able to save mails as plain text. I think it's a very easy thing to implement:

1) take the text/plain part of the message or strip html tags ir html-only
2) include only most important headers like date, from, to, cc
3) save as plain text

So the saved-as-plain-text message would be alike with that one we get when we print the message:

---------------------------------
Sent: 19 June 2004
From: Blah <blah@blah.com>
To: Foo <foo@foo.com>

Hell, Foo!

My name is Blah.
---------------------------------

Good luck!

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
