Description Davor Cubranic 2011-01-28 05:48:59 UTC 
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

Messages with content-type 'multipart/alternative' that have both 'text/plain' and 'text/html' parts show a bar along the left edge of the message that should allow toggling between the two formats. This used to work fine in the past, but since I upgraded to KUbuntu 10.10 Maverick (KMail 1.13.5), the toggle does nothing. It still shows the help text 'Click to toggle between HTML and plain text', but clicking has no effect. This happens in both the preview pane and when the message is displayed in a separate window.

KMail is configured to prefer HTML to plain text for displaying messages (under 'Security'->'Reading'), and not to load external references.

Reproducible: Always

Wrong assignment: bug 264578 is a duplicate of #254530.

After I changed the preferred format back-and-forth between HTML and plain text a few times, the toggle now appears to work fine. Could it have been stuck in some indeterminate state because I had just upgraded from KUbuntu Lucid?

Noone else seemed to hit this bug. Plus it seems to be fine now with kmail2.
Should be closed IMHO.
Comment 5 Davor Cubranic 2012-11-25 23:54:32 UTC 
I can't confirm this because I stopped using KDE. I'll close as WORKSFORME.
