Bug#240256: summary and the like

[Adeodato Simó <asp16@alu.ua.es>]

package kmail
severity  240256 wishlist
retitle   240256 kmail: Include an option to force 8-bit sending of mail
forwarded 240256 http://bugs.kde.org/79929
quit

  first of all, kudos to John Zaitseff who did a great job at narrowing
  down this bug and explaining the whole situation. John, did you ever
  receive some feedback from kmail developers wrt to the bugs you opened
  back in April?

  now for the summary:

    - there is no KMail bug, if your SMTP server does not advertise the
      8BITMIME capability, KMail will refuse to send 8-bit e-mails.

      see John's posts for the whole story and possible solutions. may I
      add one: install a light MTA and use that as your transport,
      either via commandline or SMTP.

      relevant KDE bugs:

        http://bugs.kde.org/66604
        http://bugs.kde.org/77058

    - there is a *valid* wishlist to allow the user to force 8-bit
      e-mails *even if* the server does not advertise this capability.
      It was submitted to the KDE BTS by John, and is:

The easy way is the wrong way, and the hard way is the stupid way. Pick one.
