Description Theresa 2011-06-02 18:32:52 UTC
Version:           4.4.5 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

Problem has been discussed here:
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/452551-copy-paste-kmail.html
and here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=110076

Summary:
since some days I have a strange problem with KMail (1.13.5) in KDE4.5.5. When I try to copy some text from an email and past it to any other program (e.g. Openoffice), not only the marked text will be pasted, but a kind of HTML code including the text.
I found the same bug in a Fedora mailing list (of course, whithout an answer):
http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg388782.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The bug does not occur in KDE4.4. I think bug came with KDE 4.5.4 or 4.5.5.

Actual Results:  
This is an example what will be pasted (instead of xxxxtestxxxx):
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<body><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">xxxxxtestxxxx</font></body>"

Expected Results:  
Kmail should have only copied/pasted xxxxxtestxxxx

The bug does not occur in KDE4.4. I think bug came with KDE 4.5.4 or 4.5.5.
Please fix this!!!
