Bug#503149: [kmail] Kmail messes with text identation
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
