Created attachment 26808 [details] Screenshot with the quotes shown
I don't have that problem, must be something sender-specific. Can you attach such a message here or send it to me by mail? A small message would be preferable.
I was looking at messages I could send to you, and found something weird. I was looking at an email that had an embedded small image as an attachment. First, I can't figure out when it does and when it doesn't happen. It seems that it doesn't always happen like I had originally thought. Second, when I hit V to view source, the email seemed to reload -- it switched back to the top of the email instead of scrolled down where I was, and when I scrolled back down, instead of showing the icon for the image plus the extra-quote link, plus a name underneath (as in the screenshot above), the image was rendered instead, and below the rendered image was a link to download the attachment, with no extra quote (and no non-link name underneath). If I send you an email to test, do you want me to forward it to you, or send you the source, or...?

Sounds like something happening with loading attachments on demand. Displaying the image when it is loaded is probably the right thing to do, and viewing the source triggers the loading. I _think_ that loading a mail part also retrieves the name again. You're using online IMAP, right? This might actually be server specific, but send me the mail anyway so I can test. Please forward the mail as attachment, this way I can save it without modifing.> I was looking at messages I could send to you, and found > something weird.

Oh, the double-paste bug striked again...
If you're using Google IMAP, it might actually a bug in their server. I have just discovered a very similar bug which would make the filename and the content-type invalid: kio_imap4(14113) KIO::TCPSlaveBase::write: 25 UID FETCH 1 (UID RFC822.SIZE FLAGS BODY.PEEK[2.MIME]) kio_imap4(14113) KIO::TCPSlaveBase::read: * 1 FETCH (UID 1 RFC822.SIZE 9910 FLAGS (\Seen) BODY[2.MIME] {248} Content-Type: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?application/pdf;_name=3D"Einstein_R=E4tsel.pdf"?= Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: inline; filename*0*=ISO-8859-15''%45%69%6E%73%74%65%69%6E%20%52%E4%74%73%65%6C%2E; filename*1*=%70%64%66 ) Which clearly is a messed up filename and Content-Type header, I guess I'll report this to them as soon as I find out how I can do this.
I'm not using Google's IMAP server. It is, unfortunately, Exchange 2007. I'll try to find one that I can forward soon -- since it's at work I have to find one that isn't company sensitive.
I can not reproduce on 1.11.2. Even tried same attachment name as reporter. Can you attach problematic mail to check?
No, unfortunately. Ever since an update to the Exchange server, KMail has had problems with it in various ways (often very, very long delays while updating mailboxes) so I've had to switch of it. I'll resolve this until (if ever) I can use KMail again and reproduce it again.
Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this version of Kmail has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug. Please try using the latest version of Kmail to see if your issue persists. If it does, please submit a new bug in "kmail2". Thank you!
