Bug ID: 525250
Summary: Saving attached email messages and messageparts from
the Message Structure View does not work
Classification: Applications
Product: kdepim
Version First 6.7.3
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: messageviewer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
If you enable the message structure view (Menu Message → Show Message
Structure) you get a hierarchical view of the mail message, which is a great
feature.
>From this tree view, you can select any part and request to save it as a file.
But instead of the transfer-decoded payload of the part being stored as a file,
you get an empty file (zero bytes)
Drag an Drop of the same message part works neither.
It only works for parts "recognized" as a file, e.g. an attached pdf file or
the plain/text or text/html file.
But some times the use case is to save the message as a file.
for the "main" message, this is possible via the menu File -> Save (Ctrl+S)
way, but for any attached message, this bug prevents any meaningful way for the
use to save a specific attached message.
But this should be possible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Display any Multipart Message with MessageView (e.g. within kmail)
2. Have Show Message Structure enabled (Ctrl+Alt+D as Hotkey in kmail)
3. Select any part message part which is either a multipart-part or a
message/rfc822 or similar part (e.g. an attached message if forwarded as
attachment) in the Message Structure view
4a. use the context menu to save it
4b. (Alternative) Drag&Drop it onto any place on your computer.
OBSERVED RESULT
4a (Saved via context menu): Zero Byte File stored
4b (Drag&Drop): Nothing happens.
EXPECTED RESULT
4a (Saved via context menu): Actual payload content of the selected message
part stored (after eventually decoding it according to its transfer-encoding)
as a file. NOT zero Bytes if there is any payload.
4b (Drag&Drop): Drap&Drop Context menu opens asking to copy it there or to link
it there
(as it does e.g. with attached pdf files )
