Summary: Signature is inserted after email template is
expanded.
Product: kmail
Version: 1.11.1
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
ReportedBy: cwo...@talk21.com
Version: 1.11.1 (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler: n/a n/a
OS:Linux
Installed from:Ubuntu Packages
Problem: Signature is inserted after email template is expanded.
When replying to emails I want the cursor inserted at the top, followed by my
signature and then the previous email quoted below. When a signature is
enabled, the cursor is inserted below the signature and not at the top of the
email. The signature appears to be inserted above the block corresponding to
the email template.
Version: KMail 1.11.1, KDE 4.2.1, kubuntu 8.10.
How to recreate the problem:
1. Tools - Configure Kmail - Composer - General
Select Insert Signature above quoted text
2. Tools - Configure Kmail - Composer - Standard Templates - Reply to
Sender
Move %CURSOR to the top of the template so that the cursor is inserted
above the reply to email.
Assuming your identity is using a global template. If not do #2 in
Tools - Configure Kmail - Identity - Modify - Templates
3. Tools - Configure Kmail - Identity - Modify - Signature
Select Enable signature
Save a signature (anything)
4. Now reply to an email, the cursor will be inserted below the signature.
Possible solution:
Enhance kmail with a %SIGNATURE template variable, users would then have full
control of where the signature appears relative to the cursor in the reply
email.
A new UI question then arises, if templates support %SIGNATURE, what should
happen to the Automatically insert signature and Insert signature above
quoted text check boxes?
Removing them from the UI is one option, but that may make kmail more difficult
for users that only want signatures but for whom templates are too
complicated.
Another is to automatically adjust the templates so that %SIGNATURE is
inserted/moved/deleted in a way consistent with the setting of the check
boxes. The implementation of this would be a bit more complex.
