Bug ID: 295357
Severity: normal
Version: 4.8
Priority: NOR
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: When trying to store a mail ("Save as") with a file
name that contains invalid characters, no error
message is given and the mail is not stored.
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: commands and actions
Product: kmail2
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:10.0.2)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build Identifier:
Background: When storing e-mail, the file name can contain characters that are
not allowed on the filesystem where the file is supposed to be stored. KMail2
fails to catch this.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an e-mail in the message list
2. File -> Save as
3. Enter a file name with an illegal character (examples:
"lists/scheudules.mbox" on ext4 or "Maybe interesting?.mbox" on FAT32)
4. Click on "Save"
Actual Results:
No error message is given.
The mail is *not* saved.
Expected Results:
KMail2 should give an error message. Ideally, this message should state that
the file name contains illegal characters. Failing that, the file system errors
of the OS should be passed through (I think that's what KMail1 did - KMail1
does throw an error in theses cases).
In any case, KMail2 should not just silently fail, as this is very confusing
for users.
