Unfortunately ctrl+alt+D on an Enlightenment desktop does something entirely different (minimises all windows). I used Settings/Configure Toolbars and added "Show Message Structure" to the main menu for now. On a Plasma desktop it works as advertised, so other users on Plasma who may need this feature could use it accordingly. Annoyingly, the 'View Source' submenu option was also removed ... arrrgh! However, pressing 'v' on a preview pane acts as a short cut for this function. Thanks again for your help with this. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Any idea why the Kmail team are making such seemingly bad decisions lately? On Tuesday, April 3, 2018 1:53:40 PM CDT Manuel Mommertz wrote: > Am Dienstag, 3.

[...] I'm not sure what you mean. I use KMail 5.7.3, too, and still have a "view source" menu entry under "Message", or whatever it's called in English locales (in German it's "Nachricht" -> "Nachrichtencode ansehen").

Yes, this will deal with toggling the display of the HTML part of a message, but it will not offer many other options available through the 'Message Structure' pane, like 'Save As', 'Open With', 'Copy', etc. I used HTML as an example of a message component. Personally, I use the 'Show Message Structure' to inspect/troubleshoot the envelop structure of multipart messages, save parts separately, etc. I also use 'View Source' to check message headers. So, when these two functions suddenly disappeared I started looking for them. I wasn't aware that they had gone due to conscious decisions taken by the devs. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Ah! Yeah, now I remember, it did indeed disappear at some point :( . -- Marc Joliet -- "People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don't" - Bjarne Stroustrup signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Yeah, now I remember, it did indeed disappear at some point :( . Yes, exactly. When 'View Source' disappeared from the context menu of the preview pane, I went fishing for it in the main menu. There I discovered 'v' being the keybinding for 'View Source' and have been using it since. However, I often have to move the mouse onto the main window or preview pane, so right- clicking to view the source of a message always felt like a more natural approach. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
