Could you try File->Open in KMail? *** Bug 89884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 89885 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sorry for the duplicates. I was on the wrong page of the bug tracking system and didn't recognize that before clicking. Although it doesn't show the file in the filerequester (maybe cause it doesn't end with a suffix for an e-mail file) I can open it by directly typing its filename. This works correctly as I can see. Anyway, here is that file contents - looks like a plain simple e-mail to me: -------------------------------------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Martin Steigerwald <NOSPAM> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org> Subject: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686: Kernel doesn't boot on IBM ThinkPad T23 laptop X-Reportbug-Version: 2.63 X-Debbugs-Cc: NOSPAM Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 Version: 2.6.8-3 Severity: important -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro Versions of packages kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686 depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii initrd-tools 0.1.73 tools to create initrd image for p ii module-init-tools 3.1-pre5-6 tools for managing Linux kernel mo -- no debconf information -------------------------------------------------------------------- The file is named originally "/tmp/reportbug-3711-yv7lxE" originally. Owner and group is that of the user "martin" I am logged in with. Ok. Great. Changed the subject and made it a "small" bug. Nah, that wasn't the original problem I am talking about. That KMail does not show the mail file from reportbug in the "File->Open" in the file requester is a side problem I came across during giving you additional info on the bug. The original problem is that kmail -msg /tmp/reportbug-3711-yv7lxE puts the whole contents of the mail file (contents see above) in the body of the newly created e-mail shown in the compose window that opens. But I want KMail to take the e-mail headers in that file as what they are: e-mail headers. I didn't find a way to have KMail open that file and take the headers as headers and the body as body. This is what would be required to use KMail with reportbug and any other applications that wants to send a mail whose headers and body are contained in a single e-mail file. So I just want KMail to be able take the body text and the headers and probably also attachments out from a mail file I pass on the command line. This might be a new command line option and menu entry or even better autodection (if it can be done safely): When there are e-mail headers take them. I stumbled upon a similar problem before when I try to use KMail to view an e-mail file that contains header and body of the email. But this is worth another bug report probably. So I think we have three "bugs" here already ;-) BTW kmail --view /tmp/reportbug-3711-yv7lxE works as I would expect it for "kmail -msg" as well . It shows the e-mail and take the headers as headers and the body as body. As "--msg" is documented in "man kmail" to only take a mail body maybe another command line option would be required. But anyway a message is a complete message for me and thus it might be wise to rename "--msg" to "--body" and let "--msg" take a whole mail file including headers and body. I had the same problem, kmail can't handle mail 'templatefiles' that contains header and body. Last time I tried again I worte a script that splits the header files into several --header "one" --header 'two' ... can add the body via --body "long msg body". Just to find that --header seem to be ignored :( At least sending myself a msg like: kmail --header "X-Test-Test: blabla" -s test `whoami` does not contain the X-Test-Test header field. And I agree with Martin does new summary 'File->Open can not open files without suffix.' does not describe the problem. Better 'no way to use custom header fields with kmail composer' Best solution with IMHO to add a --msgfile that accepts header and body in one template. But a working --headere "some: thing" would be at least a first step. Fair enough *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Reassigning to KMail2, please comment on the validity of this report against KMail2 Um, well...unless anyone has actively fixed the bug, shouldn't it still exist in KMail2?
