Hi!
vcf attachments (D&D from Kontacts) seem not to be recognized by thunderbird (latest on Mac) and www.gmx.at

thunderbird shows the attachments, but does not display the E-Mail

gmx does not recognize more than ONE vcf.attachment

if necessary I can sent some a vcf dirctly

gmx_xxport.patch

I use this patch in a locally modified ebuild to kaddressbook-4.1.3.ebuild in gentoo. For those who are interested, the patch for the ebuild file.

Hi all

I can confirm the issue, I still have it in KDE 4.1.3. I patched the functionality so it works for me personally. This may hopefully serve a base for discussion.

sorry for the noise, I was distracted, somehow posted to the wrong bug...
Comment 4 Thomas McGuire 2009-05-13 14:17:46 UTC
Urs, please post this patch on reviewboard so that it reaches the right developers, see http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Send_Patches for more details.
Thanks.

Hi Thomas

thanks for the hint about the reviewboard. I did feed that patch into the reviewboard but on behalf of Bug 145325, as this was an accedential post here...

Cheers

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
