Bug ID: 449359
Summary: HTML message switcher
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.18.90
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: message list
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: Dieter.Heussner at mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE Mail (kmail2)
2. Check message list
OBSERVED RESULT
in the current version of kmail a vertical bar (html switcher) is displayed in
the message windows. Even for mails with rather short text messages the message
window is too big. The list of e-mails just above the current message window is
quite small. When using kmail on a notebook / netbook, the current
implementation of kmail2 and the html switcher is not practical.
In previous versions of kmail one could switch off this "html switcher"
feauture, in the current one it is not possible to deactivate this feature.
Leave it up to the user if she/he wants such a feature or not. Do not prescribe
what the user should have or should tolerate.
EXPECTED RESULT:
1. Re-implement the feature to allow for the activation / deactivation the
"html switcher" feature. The user knows best what he wants to have.
2. Do not implement the display of the "html switcher" feature as a vertical
bar. I reckon that there are a lot of possibilities to make the kmail user
aware that the current message is plain text of html mail etc.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
