SUMMARY

Even if a HTML mail is displayed with external references (images) manually requested, the images are not printed or previewed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load the attached sample message into KMail.  It is has only one external reference and is safe to open, and contains no personal information.
2. Activate HTML message display with "by clicking here" at the end of the "Note: This is a HTML mesasage..." header.
3. Load external references with "by clicking here" at the end of the "Note: This HTML message..." header.
4. Observe that the white logo is shown in the blue box at the top.
5. Select File - Print Preview. In the preview observe that the logo is replaced by a "broken image" graphic.
6. Close the preview and select "Print..." to an printer or to a PDF file. Observe that the same "broken image" is printed.

OBSERVED RESULT

"Broken image" graphic when printing

EXPECTED RESULT

External referenced image shown when printing, as on the screen.

MacOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Bug 391030 may be the same, but that does not make it clear whether HTML and/or external references are allowed or requested.
Comment 1 Saeid Akbari 2019-08-28 21:21:32 UTC
Same here. Still exists on KMail 19.04.3 with KDE Frameworks 5.60

There's also the poor quality printing issue present. Bug 378843.
