Description Soroosh Azary Marhabi 2012-04-22 17:32:14 UTC
each persian/arabic character has two kind: separated and linked. in kmail, when it wants to show the message body, it shows all of the characters separated that is incorrect, since some of them must be linked to next/previous chars. i must note that it is correct in messages list, and also in composer, but not in message view.

Reproducible: Always

1. get an email that contains persian/arabic characters in it's body.
2. try to open it in kmal.
Actual Results:  
showing all of the characters separated.

Expected Results:  
some of them must be linked.

 -- correctly in composer (left),
 -- incorrectly in message body view (right)
