            Bug ID: 346212
           Summary: Kontact/KMail-4.14.6 ignores per contact settings
                    about html and external resources) synced over dav
                    resource
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

I have a contact that is synchronized over the dav resource and basically is a
dummy contact for my rss2email daemon. For this contact i have configured that
the desired format is html and that remote content should be displayed.

These settings are ignored until i manually re-configure them. Reconfiguration
is done by opening the contact for editing, re-set the settings a clock OK. 

What seems a bit surprising is the following:  when i look at the contact the
overview of all contacts it shows "MAILALLOWTOREMOTECONTENT TRUE" and
"MAILPREFEREDFORMATTING HTML", but when i open the contact for editing the
settings are "MAILPREFEREDFORMATTING STANDARD" and  "MAILALLOWTOREMOTECONTENT
FALSE". After clicking ok in the editing dialog, the overview shows exact the
same summary. 

After re-configuring the settings, All other computers which are synced observe
the problem that the settings are ignored. Therefore it is only possible for me
set the settings for a single computer.

This bug may be related to the bug, that the resource is temporarily
unavailable (see Bug 341998), because the above observed behavior seems to
commonly aligned with the occurring of Bug 341998. That means i am unsure about
the trigger of the bug, 
Possible Trigger 1: The settings of the synced resource are ignore completely
and are only are set after a manual local (re-)setting, but the manual
re-setting causes the resource to become temporarily unavailable on the other
computers. 
Possible Trigger 2: The settings are synced and this causes to local settings
to be somewhat invalidated and ignored.

Reproducible: Always
