----

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
