Description Thomas Bevan 2003-07-09 04:23:50 UTC 
Version:           1.5.2 (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-gentoo-r3

I received photos by email which I wished to forward.
Some emails contained text and others did not.
When I tried to forward those without text, the attachment disappeared.

Included: email source ( address removed )

Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2003-09-23 21:20:43 UTC 
it's no attachment, it's a image/jpeg mail. I'm not kmail supports that. possible wishlist 
duplicate.
Comment 2 Stephan Kulow 2003-09-23 21:35:20 UTC 
quite special case
Comment 3 Thomas Bevan 2003-09-29 01:17:38 UTC 
I just attached the file in the normal way. I don't see that it is really a 
special case. It must be quite common to attach binaries without any sort of a 
message.

You try "forward inline", right? Of couse that does not include 
attachments. It includes text only - hence "inline". Use the non-
obsolete and more robust "forward as attachment" to forward the 
attachments, too.

Comment 6 Rudolf Kollien 2004-01-28 14:33:10 UTC 
As of KDE 3.1.4 KMail honors attachments when forwarding a message inline. But not when the message contains _only_ an attachment and _no_ text. 

It is very, very difficult to instruct a novice user when he/she has to forward a mail as inline an when he/she can "normal" forward. Especially for migrating users two different forward options are very confusing. 

Previous to KDE 3.1.4 we used redirect to forward messages as with this feature all attachments where honored. But redirecting has disadvantages. Mostly on answering to the mail.

Forwarding a message inline also has some disadvatages. For example you are not able to print the forwarded (attached) message. But there is already a rfe for such a feature on the wishlist in this bugzilla.

Ferdinand, please compare #60960 with #91132 and give your opinion.
Comment 10 Ingo Klöcker 2004-10-16 01:43:18 UTC 
The problem mentioned in comment #8 has been resolved for KDE 3.3.2 (it's only broken in KDE 3.3.1).
Comment 11 Jeffrey Froman 2004-10-22 17:03:50 UTC 
Even if forwarding "inline" does not include attachments, surely "redirect" should? Using KMail 1.7.1 and KDE 3.3.1, attachments are not included when redirecting.
Comment 12 Till Adam 2004-10-24 13:11:27 UTC 
This was recently fixed for KDE 3.3.2 as well.
Comment 13 Andres Kärner 2004-12-23 14:58:49 UTC 
How recently? I have 3.3.2 and this bug still exists.
