Description m.wege 2010-12-08 10:42:11 UTC 
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.80) 
OS:                Linux

Since the above mentioned upgrade copying something from a mail to clipboard gives me this 
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<body>content</body>" in the clipboard. It does not matter if the mail is HTML or not. I know that running 4.4.x-series with 4.6 Beta is not supported, but there are no KDE PIM 4.6 Beta packages for Kubuntu that I am aware of. And may be the bug is general, not related to that combination.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-7-generic-pae
Compiler: cc

Same with kmail 4.4.8 and 4.4.9 on my Gentoo system. This is a very annoying bug, as one simply can't "just" copy something out of kmail anymore but has to remove the HTML stuff by hand after pasting the text somewhere.

(why haven't I been added to CC automatically when the other bug was marked as duplicate?)

To make things worse, newlines and HTML meta-characters like <, > are written HTML-compatible.

Also occurs with kde 4.4.5 kmail 1.13.5. This version was just distributed to all Kubuntu 10.04 LTS users.
