Description Gunter Ohrner 2003-03-29 21:17:35 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

Hi!

kNode has a nice feature in the editor window called "add box" (tools menu).
I'd love to see this in kMail as well.

BTW: Would it be possible/easy/sensible to use a common editor window for both kMail and kNode? As I understand it both do essentially the same thing so two different editor windows in both apps look like a lot of dublicated effort. (Not that this is generally a bad thing.)

Greetings,

  Gunter

Still current as of KDE 3.2.2

What does this "Add box" do?
Comment 3 Gunter Ohrner 2009-12-19 14:12:27 UTC
It simply adds a visual "frame" using "ASCII art" which can be used to emphasize / mark sections within the message, eg. labels etc.

Selecting a range of text in an editor window and invoking "Add Box" (currently called "Add Area" or "Add Range", it can be found in kNodes "Extra"-menu at the moment.) adds this box around the selected text.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
Comment 6 Gunter Ohrner 2012-08-19 11:41:03 UTC
Yes, this functionality is not yet implemented as of kMail 4.9 and sometimes it would be a handy feature to emphasize / quote fragments in text-only emails.
