Version: 1.12.2 (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs As there is no way to set "inline forwarding" as default, i added the "inline" button to the toolbar. If i forward an email with attachments (jpeg, jpg etc) via the inline option (menu or button) the recipient does not get the attachments. It works fine using "forward as attachment" but i do not like to send (or receive) an email where you have to open the attachment to read the forwarded email, it adds more steps to the process.
Forwarding a mail with attachments works for me (including the attachments). Can you check your sent mail folder if the attachments were sent or not ? If so, it must be a problem on the receivers side.
I can confirm that bug is still present on archlinux and kde 4.3.3 .
I can confirm this bug on a Fedora 12 install. I have put the inline button into my top mail to make it convenient to forward emails in line. If the email I'm trying to forward has attachments the attachments do not get forwarded along with the message. When I look at the message in sent items it shows the little paper clip icon, like it thought it included the attachments, but there is nothing at the other end. I have tried with various email services and it doesn't work with any of them. Let me know if I can provide any further information.
Could you attach a copy of such a mail as seen by wireshark while sending it? This way we will be able to see how the mail actually is sent.
I can confirm this is not working. This was working fine in KDE3 times before I've upgraded recently to KDE4. And this is clearly visible even in "Sent mail" folder that attachment is not included when you look at message size. So I propose that this is not even tried to send out attachments. But if you still need to see Wireshark dump then I can create one testcase for you.
I see the same behavior as the reporter, attachments are not picked up with inline forwarding. However, this is only the case with HTML formatted mail. Plain text emails with attachments are forwarded as intended, with attachments.
