Package: kmail Version: 4:4.14.5-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I just found out after reading kde-pim upstream mailing list that KMail as packaged in Debian experimental, I am not sure whether the Sid version is also affected, contacts gravatar.com to fetch face images of senders of opened mails by default¹. This was not the intention of the developer adding gravatar.com support to it. I just posted the following information to debian-kde mailing list: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If you do not want KMail to connect to gravatar.com to find faces for mail identities, you can disable it in Configure / Appearance / Message window (last one roughly translated from german). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- But as not everyone reads it and this is a privacy leak, it may make sense to upload a package that changes the default. As to the thread the "enabled by default" mistake has been fixed in KF5 based kmail which is due to release with KDE Applications 15.08 in August. Please note it is not my intention to point fingers or such. I assume good intentions, errors can happen. So this is just about fixing the privacy leak being enabled by default.
