            Bug ID: 331022
           Summary: Copy/paste table selections from libreoffice fails
                    more often than not
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.11.4
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: hpj at urpla.net

kmail has a nice feature, that allows pasting selections of a calc table as
images into html mails.
Unfortunately, that feature fails often, due to creating invalid image tags,
eg:

<im=
g src=3D"PLZ=09Transporte=09STP=09STP-=F8=09Paletten=09Pal-=F8=09Gesamt=
gewicht=09Gewicht-=F8
0=092" /></p>

(line wraps left intact intentionally)

while the attachment looks like:

--nextPart3277463.dT9fysvj0a
Content-ID: <1173981377 at KDE>
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Type: image/png

[...]

Consequently, the picture isn't shown in the mail. Now, older kmail versions
(1.6) deal better with that situation by displaying the picture like an
ordinary attachment below the mail. 

Not so kmail2: it just shows a symbol for a damaged image, with no way to get
to the image other than saving the mail to disk, and using some external tools
to extract its attachments. 

That combination is very unfortunate. So here are two kind requests for
changes:
when inserting inlined images, always address them by content id:
src="cid:1173981377 at KDE"

When detecting attachments with no (valid) anchors in the mail text, display
them as usual attachments, please.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select some part of a table in calc, copy it, and paste it into a html mail.
Actual Results:  
Often, an icon for an invalid image is shown

Expected Results:  
The image should be visible

BTW: using gimp as a copy/paste trampoline, that failure disappears.
