On Tue, 15 Oct 2002, Kevin just had to get this off his chest:

Look up above what this great piece of MS software made of my quote when it was finished with it. Isn't it wonderfull that it can't even add a '>' when it reformats the lines? And what about this:
Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
[Filename: foutlook.exe, Content-Type: UUEncoded] The attachment file in the message has been removed by eManager.
Was it the mailinglist manager that did this or was it software on your side? Either one was very wrong. All I wrote was "Begin<space><space>foutlook<dot>exe" No file, no encoding. It did get the Content-type right though, one out of three isn't bad... It is however also the standard behaviour of O[E] when it sees a line like this so I guess I made my point..
I'm sorry. I didn't really understand what you were saying above. Are you saying that *you* are using Outlook (not your choice, maybe all that's available), and it's messing up? Or are you saying that the wrapping and insertion of ">" is being messed up by MY use of MS Outlook?
If you look at the headers you'll see that I'm using Mutt 1.4i, and I can see that you're using Kmail 1.4.2. Something's broken in your version though, because it exibits the exact same buggy behaviour as Outlook(Express), ie, when it re-formats long lines it doesn't place a quote-character ('> ') on the new line preceding the line piece that was replaced. So you get: "> yada yada yada .........................................." "yada yada yada ............................................" "> yada yada yada .........................................." "yada yada............." I thought it was just Outlook that does this, I didn't know that Kmail could be just as bad. [..]
If I've got my settings wrong, just tell me, and gimme a hint as to where I might find the dialog to fix 'em. The only thing I paid attention to when setting up to use KMail was to use plain-text, with no HTML or RTF. For just about everything else, I accepted KMail defaults. I use the KMail internal editor.
Suggestions?
I would if I knew Kmail, but I know nothing about it. If it can be repaired it must be somwhere in the quotation options. Someone else? Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven Registered Linux user# 99872 http://counter.li.org ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E. SuSE 8.0 x86 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB See headers for PGP/GPG info.
