Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.9-5
Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
I love kmail and I'm using it since 2002, but I have just come aware that it
has this silly behaviour by design: it changes automatically the special
characters used for spacing and indentation in text. This is unimportant
until you send a message, but if you receive emails containing a diff/patch
to apply to a piece of code, then everything must be indented again (with sad
results).
This bug has shown up more then 1 year ago in linux kernel mailing list
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2007/7/5/112282/thread
and it's really a pity that it is still there. BTW I have "re-invented" the
wheel with this bug report, but I really wish that the guys upstream fix it.
Cheers

Dear bug submitter,
Thank you for reporthing this issue. The bug has been determined not to be
Debian specific, and therefore was reported in the KDE bugtracker; see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=230966.
We are sorry it has not been resolved. However, the version in which the
issue was reported is now obsolete and the upstream tracker has closed the
issue. Thus we are also closing the issue in Debian bug tracker.
If you think the bug is still relevant to a KDE Pim version in Debian stable
(aka Stretch) or newer -- i.e. part of KDE Applications 15.08.0 or newer --
then please open a new bugreport upstream and add your new information in the
upstream bugreport.
Again, thank you for reporting the issue. If there are any questions feel free
to ask.
KDE upstream bug tracker closed their bug with following statement:
"This bug has only been reported for versions before 15.08.0, which have been
unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still
present?
If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact
(version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later),
it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug.
If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08),
please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input."
