Bug#908730: kmail: Query string stripped from hyperlinks in kmail
Package: kmail
Version: 4:16.04.3-4~deb9u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since upgrading to debian 9, I have a problem with emails form our helpdesk system.
Links have query string with ticket id, or even action to do (take, resolve,...),
but the query string is ignored. It seems that kmail is stripping it, perhaps as some
sort of security feature. It would be nice to have them back, at least for whitelisted
websites. I was not able to find any setting that would allow that.
* What led up to the situation?
upgrade from debian 8 to 9
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
click on hyperlink (in email message) with query string e.g.:
https://helpdesk.example.net/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=12345
* What was the outcome of this action?
Browser (firefox) opens with main page of request tracker: https://helpdesk.example.net/rt/
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Browser should open the requested ticket #12345
Best Regards
Vladislav Kurz
