Version: (using KDE 4.2.90) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE RC1 As above, Kmail will remove any white space larger than 1 character (tabs, subsequent spaces) when using html signature.
unless you put whitespace within a <pre>..</pre> structure, html does remove whitespace. that's normal. can you give us an example html signature that doesn't work as you expect?
Essentially, since once you tick Use HTML you get formatting buttons, I was expecting the signature to work like a WYSIWYG editor, which doesn't fully, re trimming white space. Then I think the issue is more of understanding how the feature work. There is no help file with Kmail (at least in Kubuntu) and I couldn't find any clue online. I have done some tests to see if I'm missing the obvious, but entering something like: <strong>My Name</strong><pre> </pre>&nbps;<strong>My Company</strong> prints the html tags. I would appreciate a hint of how it works, or a link to anything which could help.
It is WYSIWYG. Ok, so what you are really asking for is a new feature added to the html editing capabilities for <pre>...</pre> text. I'll reassign this to the richtexteditor component then.
Thank you.
I concur, that would be a useful feature. My use case: I need to have whitespace in a signature to properly align text blocks, like one would via a table (which also is missing in KMail's HTML mode). I don't really care if the resulting e-mail is in plain text or HTML. But that signature only displays properly when using plain-text e-mails with a plain-text signature. As soon as HTML formatting is enabled in addition to that signature, of course, the resulting e-mail trims all whitespace, and the alignment is a mess. By the way, maybe there is a way to use plain text signatures with HTML e-mails? Anyway, the addition of a <pre> tag to the rich text editor would remedy this for using HTML e-mails, because I could then simply use all-HTML e-mails. Thanks in advance!
I use plain text signatures with HTML emails until <pre> or or even more advanced HTML features make their way into KMail's signature. Although it does work it takes quite a lot of of work to get it right since what you see is not what you get and is not really what other people get when they receive your email (their fault though, they use Outlook). I'm not sure what sort of HTML tags KMail is able to render when displaying emails, but an alternative to adding <pre> or any other tags would be to add a non-WYSIWYG signature editor.
