Bug ID: 317232
Summary: knode (or kmail) does not save a copy of answers to
news-articles sent per email
Classification: Unclassified
Product: knode
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: FreeBSD
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: torsten.eichstaedt at web.de
When a mail was sent by kMail with an IMAP account, usually a copy of the mail
is stored in an IMAP folder called "Sent Mail" or similar. If the mail was
sent directly, a copy of the mail is stored in a folder on the local host.
The same holds true for news postings sent w/ knode: a copy of the article is
stored on the local machine.
But when answering to a news article directly w/ @mail, no copy is stored.
Thus, one has no control over what was sent and if it was sent at all.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have kMail set as your mail client, and kNews set as your news reader.
2. In kNode, answer via @mail to a news article directly to the author of the
article.
3.
Actual Results:
No copy of the mail is stored: neither on the local host, nor in the folder for
sent mail of the sending IMAP-account (IMAP does not send the mail but you know
what I mean).
No chance to know whether the mail was sent or not.
Expected Results:
Negation of the above.
KDE 4.9.5 at FreeBSD 9.1
I can not decide if this is a bug in Kontact, kMail, or kNode or all of those.
I suspect it's in kNode.
I thought a few minutes whether this is a major or normal bug. Then I voted
for major, because it's troublesome that the whole data is discarded. It's a
major requirement for communication that one can track what was sent. YMMV.
