SUMMARY I use 3 main languages for my email. For each language I have had a separate identity, that I use for new mails, replies and forwarding. In kde4 all worked perfectly. Now I've changed to kde5 and this functionality is completely broken. That made Kmail almost useless for me. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a new identity with new signature, and all 4 temlates content 2. Create a new mail / reply to the incoming mail / reply to all / forward a mail 3. In the composer change your identity to the new one. OBSERVED RESULT You will see that the signature is changed while the text, generated by any template is unchanged. EXPECTED RESULT The text generated by the corresponding template should change like it was in KDE4 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Slackware-current KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.17 OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 KMail Version 5.16.2 (20.12.2) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It would be great if the variables like %ODATE generate the text according to the autocorrect language.
Please, pay attention to this bug. It is very crucial. For the people using in the communication more than one language this bug makes Kmail almost useless.
It is REALLY a very critical problem
As Dmitri said on January 16, 2021: It is REALLY a very critical problem And it is still not solved. Using an HTML signature is not possible because fonts are changed automatically by the program. I am using KDE 5.27.9 on openSUSE Tumbleweed at the moment, but also on Fedora 38 I noticed the same issues.
