Created attachment 122080 [details] Raw email message copied from .local/share/... SUMMARY This is an intermittent problem. Once in a while, when the character "." (ascii code x'2E') falls in column 1 (in an HTML-encoded string that has been broken into 77-byte chunks), KMail (or Akonadi, or the mail transport mechanism) drops that character from the file that is saved on disk. I only notice that this has happened if I actually try to click on the broken link. I get a 404 error in my browser, which I can usually fix pretty easily by just putting the missing "." back into the URL. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Wait a while. 2. On average, 1 in 77 HTML-encoded links will be broken in this manner -- it only happens when X'2E' should appear right after a \n character, which tends to happen about 1/77th of the time (77-byte chunks). 3. When it happens, it's pretty obvious. OBSERVED RESULT I happened to catch this error red-handed today, so I'm filing this report while I have the evidence at hand. I have attached three files to this report. File "1565606331.R463.linux-f0mccolon2commas.txt" is the raw data from my ...akonadi_maildir_resource_1/inbox/cur folder. File "V E R I F Y.mbox" is the same thing, except that I saved it from the KMail File menu, so it has one extra line appended at the top of the file. File "V E R I F Y 2.mbox" is a copy of the same message that was forwarded from att.net to gvtc.com -- it has 24 extra header records because of the forwarding process. You can see that the "." is missing in the first two files (see lines 155 and 156, respectively), but present (for some odd reason) in the third one (see line 180). For what it's worth, I viewed the "Raw Message" in my browser at the att.net web site, and the "." is present. So it seems that the period got dropped during the SMTP transport step somehow -- it's at the server, but not in the local disk image. EXPECTED RESULT The "." should be present without fail.
