Description Casey Allen Shobe 2005-06-07 05:56:13 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Consider the following email text examples:

"load on the server was above 7 (and actually meaning it, 100% disk I/O) and 
>600 emails stuck in the qmail queue (incoming mail is sent to dspam for 
processing, which stores it's data in PostgreSQL).  We saw an obscure (and"

"situation was worse than that though - the system load was high, staying around
> seven, close to 8 sometimes." 


Suggestions:

If a line begins with > and then an integer (either separated by a space or not), it should not be marked as quoted text unless a line immediately above or below it is also quote-indented text.  i.e.:

"I can talk about number ranges, like
>600 and 
> 4842 on multiple lines in a row and it won't be marked as quoted."

"> this of course,
> 600,
> 42, would be quoted."

If a line begins with > and any nonspace character, it should not be marked as quoted unless a line immediately above or below contains the same indentation style, i.e.:

">this is crappy
>indentation and should be quoted"

"but this, with
>four, is not and should not."

"> and while this line should be quoted in this case,
>this one should not."

Haha, bugzilla has buggy quoting too.  Too funny.

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.
