Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages When composing HTML messages, I will still put in spare line breaks for emphasis or clarity, but KMail (via Kontact 4.3.4) strips these out when sending. Emails that I want to read this way: " Hello, Nice to meet you. You picked: Option A Thanks, el jefe " Come across looking like this: " Hello, Nice to meet you. You picked: Option A Thanks, el jefe " I put the line breaks in for a reason, please KMail don't strip them out. Thanks for Kontact and KDE!
Confirming the same problem in Kontact 4.4.3, KDE 4.4.3 on Mandriva 10.1 beta
Confirming in KDE 4.4.2, Kontact 4.4.2, Kmail 1.13.2: N.B.: In earlier versions of Kontact, Kmail was striping HTML messages line breaks and it was noticeable on local 'sent items' copy. In 4.4.2, local copy looks perfect but other clients (OE, OWA, Outlook, Thunderbird) still don't show line breaks.
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
