Description Thomas Bevan 2004-10-21 08:35:24 UTC

Version:           1.7.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-gentoo-r4

I frequently receive links to SAMBA shares in an email message.

It would be great if KMail recognised these links as SAMBA links and automatically converted them into a UNIX format when I clicked on them.

Currently I must edit the link in the browser window, reverse all the slashes and prepend smb:

This can be time consuming and tedious.

actually in KDE CVS if you type such a link in konqueror, it will work. So I guess as long as kmail is displaying the link as link, it will work.

Comment 2 Thomas Bevan 2004-10-25 01:04:46 UTC

Well in KDE 3.3.1 KMail does not interpret these sort of links as links.
Could you check that a link like ,

\\machine\dir1\dir2

is interpreted properly in KDE CVS?

Comment 3 Stephan Kulow 2004-10-25 08:18:56 UTC

No, kmail doesn't highlight the link. but if you paste it into konqueror, you get
"Connection to host smb://machine/dir1/dir2 is broken."

Comment 4 Thomas Bevan 2004-10-25 08:31:20 UTC

Great! I look forward to this working its way into a release

Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-18 08:09:30 UTC

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.

Comment 6 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:48:07 UTC

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