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. (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/T/top-post.html) Benno -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list 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. - AR -- The absence of war does not mean peace. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 . . . -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
