Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages The bug itself is: Why are the headers not being updated correctly per the changes I made to Compose > Headers (as shown in the image at http://imagebin.ca/view/qjHzvM.html and soon to be attached to the bug report) Long story short, my emails at work were being rejected by a ticketing system. I looked into the issue and it seems that my KMail Headers were giving this: > Content-Type: multipart/signed; when I would sign with a GPG key, and as > Content-Type: Text/Plain; when I wouldn't sign. Either way I was being rejected by the system, and I never sent any HTML-formatted emails at all. Other people's emails were showing, in lowercase: > Content-Type: text/plain; I changed the custom headers per this image: > http://imagebin.ca/view/qjHzvM.html and my headers are pretty much the same, except: 1. My work's ticketing system is no longer rejecting me, no matter how much HTML etc I put into an email, and 2. The changes aren't actually happening in the headers for new emails, and I don't know why nor do I know why the system would start accepting my emails. What would be different? Here are the headers themselves: Old headers: From: XXX X XXX <XXX.XXX@company.com> Organization: XXXXXXXX X-KMail-Transport: Scalix Server To: "W/O System" <workmanager@company.com> Subject: test email [W0025295] Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:31:07 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.12.1 (Linux/2.6.30-1-686; KDE/4.3.1; i686; ; ) X-KMail-QuotePrefix: > MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="nextPart3575412.Q8i8Slnan2"; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg=pgp-sha1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200909101031.08042.XXX.XXX@company.com> Status: RO X-Status: RS X-KMail-EncryptionState: N X-KMail-SignatureState: F X-KMail-MDN-Sent: X-UID: 84401 New headers after changes per the image at http://imagebin.ca/view/qjHzvM.html To: Work Manager <Work.Manager@company.com>, Subject: test six as HTML [W0025295] From: XXX X XXX <XXX.XXX@company.com> Organization: XXXXXXX X-KMail-Transport: Scalix Server Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:56:43 -0500 X-KMail-QuotePrefix: > X-KMail-Markup: true MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; boundary="nextPart1359458.HvMZTtbvDf"; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg=pgp-sha1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-Id: <200909101056.43656.XXX.XXX@company.com> Status: RO X-Status: RS X-KMail-EncryptionState: N X-KMail-SignatureState: F X-KMail-MDN-Sent: X-UID: 84456
Created attachment 36851 [details] Changes to KMails headers Changes to headers as show in image don't actually change the headers in outgoing emails.
Per conversations on Freenode #kontact, this is not meant to rewrite the headers, just add additional headers. Which is fine but that isn't happening either.
if your bug report is now about new headers not being added, I have to close this report with WORKSFORME. I added a header named "BLAAA" with value "Hallo" and the sent mail now has: ... X-KMail-QuotePrefix: > X-KMail-Identity: 511735207 BLAAA: Hallo MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="utf-8" ... So it works for me.
Please reopen. KMail 4.7.0 does not adde extra headers.
