Description Sami Liedes 2007-02-11 20:54:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

The current KApplication::invokeMailer(const KURL &, ...) code drops In-Reply-To: from mailto: URLs of the form "mailto:foo@example.com?In-Reply-To=<877j3cylgi.adr@example.com>&Subject=bar". Because of this, when I read e.g. the Debian mailing lists (http://lists.debian.org/), in Firefox I get a correct In-Reply-To: header when clicking "reply to list", while in Konqueror the In-Reply-To: is dropped.

Firefox seems to pass the URL probably unchanged. Here's what Konqueror passes to the MUA:

"mailto mailto:foo%40example.com?subject=bar"

And here's what Firefox passes for the same message:

"mailto mailto:foo@example.com?In-Reply-To=<877j3cylgi.adr@example.com>&Subject=bar"

Sounds more like a bug than a wish, changing severity.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

I can confirm this in 18.08.3 shipped by debian buster.
