Bug ID: 310535
Severity: wishlist
Version: unspecified
Priority: NOR
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Summary: Provide localized Subject Prefixes for "Re:" and
"Fwd:"
Classification: Unclassified
OS: unspecified
Reporter: pancho...@riseup.net
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: general
Product: kmail2
Currently, localized versions of kmail2 don't come with localized Subject
Prefixes for "Re:" and "Fwd:", such as the ones listed in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_email_subject_abbreviations#Abbreviations_in_other_languages.
While the use of the standard English prefixes is recommended, detecting
answers and forwards with localized prefixes is important:
- to avoid piling up of prefixes in subject lines such as "Re: Aw: Re: German"
or "Re: R: Re: Italian"
- to allow for correct threading.
The easier way would be just adding the localized subject prefixed for the
current system language. In this case, it could even be moved to
"systemsettings".
However, this wouldn't help in many use cases, as someone using KDE in English
language might receive mails with e.g. a German prefix.
So probably common localized prefixes should be shipped with kmail for all
languages. However, in order not to do too much filtering, only the English
prefixes and the prefixes of the current system language should probably be
enabled on default.
This would mean we need a more sophisticated UI for subject prefixes in the
config dialog. This would however be a good idea anyway, because the current UI
is incomprehensible for users that aren't proficient in regular expressions (=
most users).
Reproducible: Always
