[gentoo-user] [OT] Kmail empty replies

[A. R.]

Hi,

I've been having some problems with kmail.
When I reply to a message, the message is delivered blank: The
original message and my response are both blank.

Does anybody know what could be causing this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

A miscompiled KMail?  Did you recompile it recently?  Or kdelibs 
maybe?  With what compiler and what flags?  (emerge --info)

Hi,

I have not recompiled kmail since I installed it the very first time. I have
recompiled kdelibs though, because I added hal support, however the problem
with kmail was there before this.
The version of kmail (as indicated by the e-build) is 3.4.3.

Thank you for your help.

Here is my emerge --info

What exactly do you mean with "the message is delivered blank"?

If you configure KMail and set the Default send method as "Send 
Later" (under Accounts > Sending), and you compose a message and 
press Ctrl+Enter, is the message in the outbox blank?

And the original message becomes blank too?  If you reply to a 
message, the content of that original message disappears?

You are now using Gmail for sending messages, no?  Please switch of 
the additional HTML you are sending.  And please don't top-post.

Okay mate, no more top-posting...
Thanks, BTW for the link to the correct definition of top-posting :-) I
really did not know for sure what it meant. And, for what I have seen, a lot
of folks get really annoyed by the praactice...
As for the HTML, I could not find in the Gmail settings a way to turn this
off. The only thing that I changed that is remotely similar, was the UTF-8
encoding (I turned on).

And, with regards to the Kmail issue, I found the following:
1. My replies, as they are stored in the "Sent" folder are not blank.
2. The people I have been replying to, and that have told me that I have
empty replies, use MS Outlook as their e-mail client... so to me, that in
itself could be an explanation of the problem :-)

Anyway, thanks for your help.

In the compose window in gmail, click the link that says "Plain text".
 To turn it back on, click "Rich Formatting" in the same place.  GMail
will remember these settings.

There's a <Plain Text> / <Rich Formatting> selector above the body text
field on the Gmail gui.  So you need to choose the format each time you
compose a message.

Some lists (not sure about this one) consider it an anathema to use
anything but ASCII encoding . . .
