Since quite some time KMail mangles: Hello Martin, into MartinHello , on forwarding a mail or editing it as new. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write a mail along the lines of the test I post below. Use the name of your own identity tough. And send it to yourself. 2. Edit as new the mail from sent folder and/or forward mail you receive back I use a mail like this for testing. As written, use you own name instead of martin: Hello Martin, Martin wrote: Something beautiful. Yesterday Martin wrote: A simple test whether KMail on forward mangles this.

I can test whether this also happens in KDEPIM 1 at work next week. Git master is of about 2-3 days ago. The issue persists since months tough, but never got around to report it.
Created attachment 95499 [details] kmail composer settings partly in german, but I think you get the idea at which options are checked when comparing with english version
This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it. Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.
This still happens with KMail from KDEPIM 16.04 installed from Debian Unstable packages (no newer version available in Debian right now and I currently do not build from source).
