Summary: "Insert signatures above quoted text" misbehaviour:
misplaces signature, affects all mails with signatures
not only replies and removes "-- "
Product: kmail
Version: 1.9.9
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: bugzilla kerridis de
Version: 1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Debian Package 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2 (lenny/sid))
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-2.6.24.3.slh.6-sidux-686
When I configure kmail to "Insert signatures above quoted text" the following happens:
1. the signature is at the beginning of the mail - but the beginning of the mail is not where that signature is expected, it just is expected to be above the quoted text. Imagine you are using custom templates for certain folders/people and your template looks like this:
Hello %TOFNAME,
%CURSOR
------ Your message from %ODATE, %OTIME: ------
%QUOTE
In this case the beginning of the mail (and the place where the signature is put to) is above "Hello %TOFNAME,". Expected place is above %QUOTE or better of course above "------ Your message..." or below "%CURSOR".
2. When you also use a template for creating a *new* mail which shall contain just a "Hello" at the beginning (lazy, I know) the signature also is placed *above* that "Hello" - although it is not a reply and there is no quoted text.
Maybe this can be resolved by adding a %SIGNATURE command to the templates?
The 3. error is that there's no "-- " above the signature anymore, you have to add it by hand (and *that* also happens when you start a new mail without custom template, no "-- " anymore). When I deactivate "Insert signatures above quoted text" instantly all mails/signatures again have this "-- ".
