Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.3.5 OS: Linux I have a mail message with some Text and a big image attached. If I print this mail, the message gets scaled to fit on one paper page. In the HTML-Settings of the print dialog I can turn "print images" on and off. If it is turned on, the printed text gets rather small (the scaling of the image to fit on the page is also applied on the text). OK, one can live with that. But if I turn the "print images" off to only print the text part of the message (and print the attached image separately), the scaling down does still occur as if the image was still present. So I have no chance to get a printout of the text in normal size. An uneducated guess: The scale ratio is calucated within kmail based on the whole message without taking into account the state of the "print images" setting.
I can confirm this in 1.8.3 (KDE 3.4.3 Level "b" , SUSE 9.3 UNSUPPORTED)
a quirks workaround to get the mail printed hit return ! this eliminates the attachments and you get a "normal" scaled mail.
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.
