           Summary: "resp." is not the English translation of "bzw."
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

The KMail command-line help contains the following line:

  address|URL               Send message to 'address' resp. attach the file the
'URL' points to

It seems this was translated literally from German.  Please note that "resp."
is almost never the English translation of the German "bzw."; see
<http://files.nothingisreal.com/publications/Tristan_Miller/advice.pdf>.

The documentation would be properly translated as "Send message to 'address' or
attach the file 'URL' points to".
