Bug ID: 473458 Summary: Add option to disable markdown-esque formatting of plaintext messages Classification: Applications Product: kmail2 Version: unspecified Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: message list Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org Reporter: l...@unixpoet.dev Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 161008 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=161008&action=edit Screenshot depicting formatting making text harder to read SUMMARY For plaintext emails, KMail applies Markdown-esque formatting to text surrounded by at least **, --, and __ characters. The -- characters in particular are problematic for technical discussion, as they create a strikethrough effect. This makes it hard to read text like this: sockstat -u | grep /tmp/ssh- STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open email using formatting characters listed above 2. Notice how it changes the appearance of the message in a way that makes it harder to read 3. Observe there's no preference to disable this OBSERVED RESULT Commandline text (and other text using these characters for purposes other than formatting) is harder to read, but there's no preference to disable this EXPECTED RESULT A preference is added which supports toggling whether to enable this formatting. Alternately, removing the formatting feature altogether would be acceptable as well; part of the point of plain text email is that it's not handled specially and is presented as-is.
