           Summary: Blank paragraphs in html mail do not display.
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: djmills at netspace.net.au

Version:           1.10.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.10.4", openSUSE
11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.37-0.1-default

When I compose an html mail item, all the blank lines between paragraphs
disappear.  The recipient reports that the email is formatted correctly, but
when I view the sent mail using kmail all the paragraphs are bunched up making
the whole email look like a single large paragraph.

If I edit the mail file using emacs and remove all instances of
"margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px;" and then view with kmail again, the
message is now correctly formatted.

I don't know whether the issue is that kmail should not have added these margin
settings or whether they are OK but kmail views them incorrectly.  I suspect
the former.

Hi Jan,

that's funn=
y, because I looked in my sent-mail folder and the message sent to kdepim-u=
sers is in html format there (as a 2 part message: one text and one html). =
 Are you sure that you weren't looking text part?

Best regard=
s,

David.
