           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. \
