Version: kdepim-4.4.1-2.fc12.x86_64 (using KDE 4.4.1) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Currently replies depend on templates, ether %BLANK or something else. By default the original message is quoted and if you don't want this for a single mail (but still want it in general), you have to select all text and delete it. Please add an option to reply without quote.
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
Yes it is, changing component to kmail2.
The option has been available since a number of years, it's called "Reply Without Quote" in the "Message → Reply Special" submenu. However, recently it stopped working. Upon invoking the action, nothing happens at all (the message composer does not even open), and KMail logs this: org.kde.pim.messagecomposer: Payload is not a MessagePtr! I tried KMail 5.7.3 and 5.8.40 alpha, in both versions it's broken. Note that in 5.5.2 it's still working fine.
