           Summary: KMail is not honouring the LC_COLLATE setting when
                    sorting
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mdhirsch at mail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In some sense this is a dup of bug 211531
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211531, but that one is about Dolphin and
I wanted the KMail people to know about it, too.

When LC_COLLATE is set to "POSIX" or "C" sorting is supposed to be done in
ASCII order.  In particular, this is case-sensitive with the uppercase letters
coming before the lowercase letters.  This can be easily demostrates with the
"ls" command.  Running "ls" with LC_COLLATE=POSIX will sort the filenames in
case-sensitive order.

The sorting of my mail folders in kmail is in case-insensitive order, even
though I have my LC_COLLATE variable set to POSIX.  The locale standards
indicate that it should be in case-sensitive order.

This worked correctly in KDE 3.5.
