Summary: when viewing a message digest, once the content of a
message is viewed its impossible to go back and view the
message itself (with the headers display)
Product: kmail
Version: 1.6.1
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
ReportedBy: oded geek co il
Version: 1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - \
Cooker)
Compiler: gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-4.tmb.1mdk
Its a bit of a problem for me to describe the problem, so here is a blow by blow description of \
how to see it:
- run kmail
- send yourself a simple text message (it works also for emails with HTML and attachments, but \
simple test cases are best).
- send yourself another simple text message
- once you receive both messages, mark both of them in kmail message list (for example by \
holding CTRL and selecting both emails) and forward them to yourself as a \
message digest.
- once you receive the new forwarded message, show view it in a mail viewer (make sure you have \
the MIME tree viewer visible). you should see the two embedded messages \
distinctly.
- now click the first message part in the MIME tree viewer - the one of type 'email message'. \
you should see one of the embedded messages by itself, including the header display KMail uses, \
with an outline that says "embedded message" or something. this is good.
- the MIME tree viewer should now have opened a sub item to the one you just chosen which is \
named for the subject of the embedded message and is of type "plain text". now choose that. \
only the body of the message will be displayed. this is still good.
- now choose the parent again (the entire embedded message). this should return you to the full \
message view with the fancy kmail header display - unfortunatly, it doesn't - it still displays \
the message body.
- try to choose something else in the MIME tree and then go back the embedded message - still \
just the body is shown.
- in order to reset the behavior you must choose the root of the MIME tree (the entire embedded \
message) or choose another mail from Kmail message list and then go back (same thing). only \
then is it possible to view the embedded message with the headers.
This is probably not very important bug, but its a bit anoying when reading large message \
digests (as from high volume mailing lists) using the MIME tree viewer (which is a very useful \
tool). after you once make a mistake and choose the body part, its impossible to see who sent \
the message and to who unless you climb up to the root of the (possibly very large digest) and \
go back down again. _______________________________________________
