Description Baris Metin 2004-11-13 18:23:59 UTC

Version:           1.7.1 (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

Kmail doesn't show messages bigger than 5K in preview pane. This option is hardcoded in kmfolderimap.cpp.

Giving user a chance to change this value would be nice.

This limit is used to detect which messages to download in one go, if 
load-on-demand is enabled. You can simply disable load on demand, if you want 
to download larger mails always in one go. I'm not sure a config option for 
this makes much sense. Carsten?

It doesn't make sense. There may be messages that need a different limit but I 
don't want the user to configure this as it's not interesting for 99.9% of 
the users. It has nothing to do with the preview though.
