Summary: Copy Email then Paste As Attachment does not work as expected Product: kmail2 Version: Git (master) Platform: Compiled Sources OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: commands and actions AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: j...@keelhaul.me.uk Version: Git (master) (using Devel) OS: Linux Sometimes the user may wish to attach an existing email as an attachment in the composer (but not by using Forward -> As attachment, e.g. if it is wanted in reply to an existing message). One logical way to do this would be to select the message to be attached, "Edit - Copy Email", go to the composer, then "Edit - Paste as Attachment". If this is done, what happens is that the GUI becomes unresponsive and the kmail process takes 100% CPU. What it is doing is trying to create a zip attachment of the entire user's documents directory, the only way out of this is either to wait or to kill the kmail process. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select an existing message in the message list, do "Edit - Copy Email". Open a composer window, do "Edit - Paste as Attachment". Actual Results: The GUI becomes unresponsive, the disc starts churning, KMail takes 100% CPU. Expected Results: The message is pasted as an attachment.
