Summary: Kontact / Kmail optional above quote signature posting
(TOFU) patch
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: firebrnr gmail com

This is technically a dupe of bug 16480, but since I didn't see one dev comment
on it in 7 years, I thought I'd post a new bug. I have made a patch that
implements options for prepending the users signature above the current text
(which will intelligently change or return with identity changes) and for
removing the -- in case people don't want the -- and for mail clients that
strip signatures so they don't strip the quoted text as well. I have written a
little more about it briefly on the gentoo forums:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4438034.html
and was promptly wontfixed on the gentoo bugzilla:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197535
While I am confident that probably no dev has any interest in this bug and (it
would seem) think that top posting is a sign of complete ignorance or
stupidity, the fact is that many people use this practice and kmail not
supporting the option won't change that, it will just make people use another
email client or, gasp, another operating system. Casual users and casual
conversations abound support this, but more specifically the entire business
world. For kmail/KDE/linux to break into the mainstream it needs to have the
features people want and are used to.
I have tested this through many scenarios and haven't found any bugs (after I
squashed all the ones I found originally, of course), but am happy to do my
best to fix any I haven't found.
