Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs When I look in Kmail configuration under templates, all of them show just %BLANK. Still on replying, forwarding etc Kmail inserts attributions - where do they come from? This is pretty much confusing. If kmail is using some global defaults and/or built-ins, it should clear indicate so and offer them for editing or changing. This is definitely change against 3.5 where templates were clearly shown in configuration.
The templates are choosen in the following sequence: * Folder templates (if enabled), configured in the folder properties. * Identity templates (if enabled), configured in the identity properties. * Global templates, configured in kmail properties. Look for Identity or folder templates. If this solves your problem, please close the bug report.
Yes, every folder suddenly has explicit templates. And this is exactly the bug - I NEVER EVER explicitly configured folder templates. As long as they have never been configured, they should not be used. And again this is update regression - in KDE3 I had single global defaults. After upgrade these global defaults suddenly migrated to per-folder settings.
Do you think a configuration screen like the following will solve this problem? Templates: Use the first found and marked template in the following list: [x] folder templates [x] identity templates Global templates If so, then change the severity from normal to wish.
