Do I understand correctly that Kmail is deliberately modifying contents of incoming messages, and you say that Claws Mail "is not blameless"? Forgive my ignorance. I have no experience with programming email clients. All I know is that all clients I tested insert a comment line for not MIME-compatible clients (as text or as blank line) except from Claws Mail. So it seems to me, that this comment line should be there. So it is Claws Mail which does not keep in line. However, my concern is not who gets disgraced. My concern is that a problem which I encountered in real life can be circumvent quite easily. Considering the other bug reports for KMail which deal with KMail modifying incoming mail, I have little hope that this will be fixed soon on the part of KMail. So why not keep in line with the habit of other clients and insert a comment line? As far as I see, it would not do harm to Claws Mail and there would be one incompatibility less. |
