Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports Compiler: gcc version 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518 OS: FreeBSD The original Quote indicator was: >%_ After changing it to just '>' (and Apply'd), and now trying to set it back to '>%_', indent-prefix remains '>'. It seems that I can change it to anything but the original '>%_'. Here are some saved examples from ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc: indent-prefix=> [>] indent-prefix=%_ [ ] indent-prefix=>%_%_ [> ] indent-prefix=%_> [ >] indent-prefix=%_>%_ [ > ] indent-prefix=$_> [$_>] indent-prefix=#%_ [# ] (And they all function correctly and produce what I've displayed within the brackets into the Compose window.) But I can not get KMail Configure to store: indent-prefix=>%_ [> ] Instead, it remains the previously set Quote indicator. (Of course, I can set it to '>%_' by manually editing kmailrc.)
Correction: KMail 1.8.2 (Using KDE 3.4.2) on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE i386
Confirmed on Kontact 1.2 using KDE 3.5.1 on Kubuntu Breezy Badger 5.10. I set the Quote Indicator to something else than the default, and can not change it back, even by pressing on "Default". This seems to have been reported here already: http://www.nabble.com/Re:-kde-KMail-Composer-reply-qoutes-p2041971.html
The same thing applies as well for the colors in Configure -> Appearance -> Colors. If the user changes the color, then revert to the system color (but unchecking "Use custom colors", the colors are not changed in ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc
works in KDE 4.3
