Version: 1.4.3 (using KDE 3.0.3) Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 3.2 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-4GB I have a windows 2000 machine in my office that runs a Eudora client. My mail server is at Verio. I filter my mail at the office and forward mail from my primary account, reb@xcaret.com, to two other accounts. The other accounts are rbarhydt@mac.com and linux@xcaret.com. I have two machines at home, one a Mac and the other an Intel Linux machine. It is obvious which email addresses I use for which. When I check forwarded mail on the mac, things come through fine. Occasionally on the linux machine, the mail comes through but the body text is completely blank. When this happens, I check the mac machine to see if the body of the message is there and it always is. The version of Eudora is 5.1. I am running OSX1.2 on the Mac. On the linux machine, I am running SuSE 8.1, just installed last week. This is very annoying and prevents me from not using the Mac, but relying on the LInux machine, as was my plan.
That last sentence is confusing. I want to stop using my mac and rely solely on the Linux machine, but cannot because of this bug.

Is the body of the message really missing? Or does KMail just not display the message body? Have a look at the message source with View->View Source to find out what is the case.

Version 1.4.1 KDE 3 (RH 7.3) Re: just trying something out From: Travis Saling <trav@u.washington.edu> To: "ann e. fuchs" <annf@ee.washington.edu> Cc: blake@spinoza.ee.washington.edu, Sekar Thiagarajan <sekar@ee.washington.edu>, chizeck@ee.washington.edu Hi Blake, Basically I think the problem is Eudora allows you to have an HTML-formatted signature even if you're not sending an HTML-formatted e-mail message. When looking at the message source for stuff from Ann and Howard, the only difference was that Howard's signature was text-only. But this is a shortcoming in kmail (even the most recent one, which is what I was using for the test). Since most e-mail clients now-a-days do allow people to have HTML-formatted signatures, it probably is worthwhile to investigate other options (since this very well may happen again with someone else). Two good programs for Linux and Solaris are Mozilla (1.0.1 or later) and Ximian's Evolution. Actually both come with the latest Red Hat, so if you were thinking about upgrading your box at some point it would be pretty painless to try them out. -- Travis Saling
The university I work for uses Eudora 5.1 as its standard email client. I have th e same problem with KMail and attachments in that the message is completely blank, even though there should be a message and attachment. This only happens occasionally. Most of the people who send the faulty messages do have html signatures, although I don't know if all do. The email has the correct size as if it did have an attachment, and the source simply has a heap of gibberish. If I move the email to the drafts folder and double click on it it comes up with a size of "0B" and a type of "/" with no name and no encoding (in the attachments listing) even though the email states that its size if 1.2Mb for example. This only seems to happen with messages sent by Eudora. The following link has a suggested fix from the Eudora end. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&threadm=pW2j9.2148%24s5.723819%40news1.epix.net&rnum=18&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dkmail%2Beudora%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26safe%3Doff%26start%3D10%26sa%3DN
