           Summary: message in Appearance/Message Tags is keeping the
                    configuration window too wide
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: config dialog
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: walch.martin at web.de


Created an attachment (id=68758)
 --> (http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=68758)
a screenshot of the dialog with the message in it

Version:           4.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

If Nepomuk services are not running, there appears a warning in >Appearance
>Message Tags. This warning refuses to be wrapped over several lines. So you
can not narrow the window much. In German localization (and probably some
others, too), it is even too wide to fit in a common screen resolution.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- make sure kmail is not running and Nepomuk services are deactived in
systemsettings
- start kmail, preferably in German localization
- open the settings dialog
- try to make it narrower

Actual Results:  
The minimum width of the window is limited by the length of the warning message
that shows up in >Appearance >Message Tags

The warning in German is

"Der semantische Suchdienst „Nepomuk“ ist nicht verfügbar. Ohne diesem ist das
Einrichten von Stichwörtern nicht möglich. Sie können den Dienst in den
Systemeinstellungen einschalten."

which is too long to fit on my screen with a resolution of 1280x1024.

Expected Results:  
If the message does not fit in one line, wrap it.

This happened for me while Nepomuk services were actually activated. However,
they failed to start, so KMail behaved like they were not.
