Description Caoilte O'Connor 2004-03-23 15:03:50 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Most emails arrive to me pre-word wrapped. Quite often someone will send me a very long link that they want me to follow, but because their email program pre-wrapped the text it is broken up into two lines.

It's great that kmail can follow links, but slightly frustrating that I usually have to copy&paste the last half.

I'd understand if this is a won't fix but I think a 

http://text.blah\n
blahblah?blha

is more likely to be a link than not.

apologies if this is a feature request for QT. feel welcome to forward upstream.

I second this wish!

KMail could check for a '\n' at the word wrap column of the mail and guess that the url continues on the next line.

Closing as it is fixed in kmail2. Please try kmail 2 and open a new report if still applicable.

It is unfortunately still relevant as it doesn't work with quoted text. Basically, KMail should be able to re- or un wrap text. Actually KNode can do this, see also bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271000

Besides, I am using KMail2 right now and can find a mail where this is still broken in less than 5 seconds :D

Just found this:

You mean it should link to http://www.suse.com/company/press/2011/11/opensuse-
project-releases-opensuse-121.html?

Looks like if there is a '-' present, it gets wrapped and not connected to the next line and you're back to copy-pasting.
