           Summary: Composer: Formatting shortcuts erroneously activate
                    formatting
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nicodietrich at web.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Using a shortcut for a formatting option from inside the composer, e.g. Ctrl-L
for "strike through" activates formatting, in case formatting isn't already
turned on. This seems to be designed as a feature, but is rather a bug.

Interestingly, the actual shortcut action (in this case "activate strike
through") isn't performed.

Thanks for fixing!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure kmail composer starts in non-formatting mode.
2. Compose Email
3. Press Ctrl-L (shortcut for strike-through)

Actual Results:  
Formatting is turned on. Strike-through isn't activated.

Expected Results:  
Either of the following would be 

1. Nothing (okay)

2. Dialog popup stating: 'Using strike through only make sense when formatting
option is turned on. Turning this option on results in email messages sent in
HTML format. Do you want to turn formatting on? Yes / No' (preferred)

3. Turn on formatting and activate strike-through. (please don't, I keep on
pressing this...)

This happens only after initially opening a composer in non-formatting mode,
but not after manually deactivating the formatting option.
