Description Till Schäfer 2022-08-24 10:58:04 UTC
After upgrading to kmail 5.21, the per contact settings for html/plain preference and remote content retrieval are no longer applied (see attached screenshot for an example). This is a regression in the current version, since it worked flawlessly in version 5.20.3. 

I have already tried to modify the contact and save it again but had no luck. Per folder setting for html preference is still applied correctly.

Interesting:  these preferences have never worked for me, in several years of trying,
and aren't working for me in 5.20.3.

(KDE Neon stable, mail in a Maildir, contacts in a vcf file.)

I too can confirm that these are no longer working after upgrading to the same version on my Arch installation.

Additionally, I performed a clean Arch install recently on a different machine, and that also has the issue, so unlikely something to do with the upgrade process.

KMail 5.21.0 (22.08.0)

Running it from with Kontact makes no difference.

If I right-click on an address and select Show HTML Format -> Show HTML format when mail comes from this contact, I am asked to "Select the address book where the contact will be saved", despite already having the contact in the address book. This happens every time, and ends up creating a duplicate entry every time. Clicking away from the e-mail to a different one, and then jumping back, the settings for the e-mail are reset again. It's as if the existing contacts are no longer visible.

All of my contacts in ~/.local/share/contacts are configured to have the following settings:

X-KADDRESSBOOK-MailAllowToRemoteContent:TRUE
X-KADDRESSBOOK-MailPreferedFormatting:HTML

All were configured through KAddressBook / Konact, none were hand-edited. Clicking on Edit Contact there does show the same settings as per the above "contact settings" PNG screenshot.

This definitely used to work for me, so there has been a regression introduced somewhere.

Since it was referenced in the duplicate bug and it looked related to the issue, I have tried to revert https://invent.kde.org/pim/kmail/commit/f894cffa2b7ea91b86bc7754e6dd51495de312d3 of Bug 395711. However, it does not fix the issue.

display_message.log

I have attached a log of akonadiconsole that was recorded while switching to a new message. The akonadi search returned zero results for the e-mail search for rssfeed@null.invalid (which is part of the contact with the html preference). Thus, this might actually be a bug of akonadi and not kmail.
Comment 8 Till Schäfer 2022-08-31 09:34:34 UTC
Also the regular e-mail search is broken since 5.21.0. Maybe this is related to each other. See Bug 458202
Comment 9 Till Schäfer 2022-08-31 09:39:13 UTC
Another regression in 20.08.0, that does relate to listing or finding e-mail adresses -> Bug 436815

I too can confirm this. Sorry I didn't think to test that previously. It's not part of my usual workflow.

I believe this has been fixed in the repo already, it just hasn't been released yet.

But I can't remember where I saw it posted, sorry :(
