Summary: view headers options missing Product: kmail Version: unspecified Platform: SuSE RPMs OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org ReportedBy: g...@curtin.com Version: 4.3.0-154.1 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs My system: Linux 2.6.27.25-0.1-default i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) KDE 4.3.00 release 155 Kontact/Kmail 4.3.0-154.1 My problem is that the options for changing the persistent headers have disappeared from the menu in Kmail. After trying to solve this problem, I went to a clean config of Kmail, on the same computer but as a different user. Everything is as it should be and all the menu options regarding the headers are where they are supposed to be. So I set out to configure Kmail as I like it, checking after each change to see if the menu had changed. When I get to the Layout, and choose "Do not show a message preview pane", this is when the menu options for headers disappear. OK, so it seems logical enough just to select "Show the message preview pane " and assume everything goes back to normal. Well, it doesn't. Everything goes back to normal with the layout, except that the header menu options are still missing! Being who I am, I looked at the kmailrc file to see what happens when I make this change to the layout. When I start up Kmail for the first time, when everything is as it should be, there is no code in the kmailrc file for the location of the preview pane. When I select "Do not show a message preview pane" a new line is added to the kmailrc file readerWindowMode=hide. This is when the menu options disappear, though I cannot see the connection because this line does not have anything to do with menu options. When I select back to the default "Show the message preview pane ", the line is changed to readerWindowMode=below, but the menu options are still not there. In order for me to get the menu options back, I deleted this line completely, so the kmailrc is as it was when I first started out. The menu options are back and the preview pane is in the default layout position. So I got everything back to normal, except that I don't want the preview pane! As long as I choose my preferred header style before I choose the layout it is no problem. If I want to choose another header style later on, I have to deleted the readerWindowMode=hide line, choose the header, choose the layout, and off I go. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
