[opensuse-kde] Kmail: Accessing image files inside html
Occasionally I receive email messages from Mac mail users that contain image files. I only just learned that Mac mail will send any message with an image as rich text; it is not possible to send the image in plain text. Kmail sees these messages as html. The images display properly. When I right-click on the image, the pop-up menu gives the option to "save image on disk" but the resulting save box only shows an internal id number of some kind (e.g. 26EC0F5D-A7A6-4EBF-AAB3-26272FC5122F) but not the image file. When I try "save attachments" I get a "found no attachments to save" error msg. Is there a way to save the image files from these messages? (It's very strange to me that the iphone mail apparently does not do this. Doing exactly the same thing on the phone as was done on MacOS, Kmail receives the message as "no html" displaying the image and containing the file as an attachment.)

what is offered when you <rt-click> on the image? can you display the image in your web browser and save it from there? consider editing the msg with a text editor and removing the "rich text" designation -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, Patrick. You're a genius. As I indicated above, when I right-click on the image I get a pop-up with a number of options including "save image on disk" and "save attachments", neither of which work. BUT after reading your reply and looking again at that pop-up, I noticed an option to "show message structure". When I do that, the embedded message components are shown in a structure list, including the image jpg's. Right-clicking on the jpg filename brings up another pop-up which allows me to "save as ..." and to open the file in an app such a gwenview; both of these options work. This solves my problem! Thanks again. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
