If I try to print out an email, the duplex setting of the printing dialog is disregarded. Due to this bug, one has to print to PDF first, then open the PDF with Okular and then print. This is no option in a professional office environment. Since the last few options to use KDE3 in a reasonable way are fading now, I will have to migrate my small enterprise (~15 people) to KDE 4 soon. They will not be amused to have to cope with this crippled functionality. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to print an email longer than 1 page with duplex enabled in the printing dialog 2. 3. Actual Results: Two sheets of paper used where one had sufficed.
It's not a bug in kmail. It's in QPrinter. is it work in other apps ? as konqueror for example ?
Printing from Okular works as expected, of course. If there are no split lines in the PDF, of course. Also printing plain text from KWrite never shows this behaviour.
I added more page options in printer dialog for 4.10 but fix all theses bugs will do in 4.11 we are in feature freeze now

I have to correct myself. This comment belongs to another bug. Sorry. Duplex printing works in Okular, but apparently not in KWrite.
Will add "improve printring" in my 4.11 TODO list.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
