Summary: Composer breaks long lines from external files
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: spillner kde org
Version: (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
I'm trying to send a GnuPG-encrypted SSH key which I insert with "insert file".
The SSH public key format is "[bytes] [key] [owner]" and these three parts get
split by kmail with a line break. This makes the GnuPG signature invalid.
SMTP mandates a line limit of 998 characters, and recommends one of 78
characters for human-readable mails since some mail clients don't support
soft-wrap for displaying text. But this mail is only read by an account bot.
Therefore, kmail should ask whether it's ok to break the text into pieces.
Considering that the middle part (the key) is the longest part, the line
breakage doesn't really help anyway for user readability.
The workaround was to save the mail, edit it with vim (just removing the two
line breaks), and saving it under some obscure file name into the outbox folder
since kmail's "open mail" doesn't support send actions.
