Description Marc Schiffbauer 2010-02-04 01:33:23 UTC 
Version:           1.13.0 (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Printing of html mails in kmail is somewhat broken.

Printing works in general, but the printed result is unusable.

Some elements are being printed, but there is free space of about a half page between a picture and text for example.

And pretty much of the text is not printed at all.

I guess this may be related to konqueror not being to print webpages: Bug #197824

I wil try to attach that email to this bug

Test-HTML-Mail with images

This is a test mail saved via the "Save as.." thingy in kmail. 

Seems I have hit the next bug in kmail: When loading this mail, it looks different from the original (no HTML view anymore??)

So this mail may be inappropriate for testing :-(

I will create a screenshot now...

It is very likely the same bug as konquorer, KMail uses the KHtml engine for displaying and printing html emails.  Reassigning to KHtml who can triage better to determine if it is an existing bug or not.

Yes, this happens here too with kmail/kontact and konqueror.
I'm using kmail/kontact version 4.4.7 and the rest is kde version 4.5.3.

I like to print important e-mails (flight tickets or hotel vouchers) and there is always a lot of text missing between the last line of a page and the first line of the next page.

My current "solution" is very unpractical:
- export the e-mail in to a mbox-file, name it *.html;
- edit this file (for example to remove unwanted headers);
- load this file in rekonq and print it there.

kmail2 (KDE4.8.rc2) uses QWebKit to render. The problem seems to be solved, the printout (to PDF) looks correct.
