[newbie] Expand/collapse in kmail
I have been searching for a post regarding how to expand and collapse the subject groups in kmail's threaded messages. I would rather have my inbox set up so i would only see on message header for each thread instead of all messages in every thread. Similiar to using the plus and minus signs to the right of messages in Lookout?? Oh, I mean Outlook. I am fairly certain this has been addresed before. I also read on somewhere that there is a feature where you can highlight text in an email and when you choose reply, you will reply only to the highlighted text. Would anybody know how to implement this? -- Jennifer #221463 Yahoo IM: jlynn2k #include wisdom.h void ignorance (it offers no value) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Expand/collapse in kmail
It didn't work for me...perhaps kmail is corrupted. Would you mind telling me what version of KDE and kmail you are using? I am using the version contained in the original build of mandrake 8...I haven't upgraded yet.

perhaps thats it, i am using kmail 1.3.1, actually the 'about kmail' says kmail 1.3.1 (using kde2.2.1pre) but i don't understand since i am running mandrake freq2 with cooker kde upgrades so i thought kde would be full 2.2? bascule On Saturday 15 September 2001 12:29 am, you wrote: It didn't work for me...perhaps kmail is corrupted.

Re: [newbie] Expand/collapse in kmail
aha! i'm sure i remember that behaviour briefly some months back - the plus and minus boxes not working - shortly after i upgraded or reinstalled i forget which, i think upgradeing kdenetwork (or is it kdeutils that has kmail?) is necessary, this could mean the whole of kde which itself could mean upgradingthe whole distro, a word of caution, when i upgrade mandrake 8.0 orig to freq2 my menus were shagged, i think the later version used slightly different directory names for menu items, i backed up my home directory and then deleted the contents in the original, letting the upgrade create brand new menus etc. then i moved back all my custom desktp icons, config files for apps etc. no promises this would work for you of course :-) perhaps the best option is to wait for lm 8.1 final? bascule On Saturday 15 September 2001 12:37 am, you wrote: Your talking about ticking the little box with the plus or minus sign right?

Re: [newbie] Expand/collapse in kmail
hmm, good luck if you decide to upgrade, but on reflection even if there isn't an option in 'settings' for default thread behaviour, wasn't there always an option hanging off the toolbar item 'folder' ?, i remember the plus and minus boxes not working but i'm sure that did, for any one who knows a kmail developer, i would love to see a keyboard short cut to collapse/expand the current thread that i am reading, i can do this in netscape and i miss it, bascule On Saturday 15 September 2001 1:10 am, you wrote: No, there is a radio box in the settings to default all your threads to collapsed and then you use the + or - in the subject list to expand them. -s No, there isn't one...it must be my version...bascule has reccomended (with cuation) that I may have to upgrade KDE.

Kmail 1.3.1 (Using KDE 2.2.1pre). Bascule, 2.2.1 is ahead of, and is a full 2.2. The 'pre' suffix just means it's not quite 2.2.1 which is expected next week.
