            Bug ID: 358561
           Summary: Kmail doesn't paste images copied along with text
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: infmtk at openaliasbox.org

If I try to paste content copied from other programs, for example a web
browser, in a HTML message Kmail only pastes the text. Please look these
screenshots -sorry for the external link: I haven't found any way to upload
images here-:
If I copy this

I get this

As you see the text format is more or less respected, excepting the color,
which I suppose depends on my desktop theme, and the image is well placed, and
sized but there's no image, just that scaled icon. Seems like Kmail can get the
position and dimensions information from the original source but can't download
the real image and insert it. It doesn't matter if you try to copy quickly by
selecting and middle clicking or with Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V, te result is
always the same.
At first I though it could be Klipper's fault and not Kmail's, but not, if you
try to paste the same content into a webmail composer, for example, things are
correctly pasted, so it seems to be a failure in Kmail.
The only ways to insert images seem to be using the tool of Kmail's composer
for inserting one image at one time, and also copying the images individually
in the web browser and then pasting. This may be ok for one or two images, but
if you are pasting 2 or 3 paragraphs with one or two images each it begins to
suck; if you are composing 3 or 4 mails like that it becomes a real pain.

I know that many users, especially developers, think HTML email is evil, but in
the "real world" is "panem nostrum quotidianum", especially in the office
"echosystem", that's why I have valued this bug's severity as Major.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy some paragraph that is accompained by any image, from any webpage, for
instance .
2. Paste it into Kmail's composer

Actual Results:  
Only the text with its format is copied.

Expected Results:  
All the content copied is pasted.
