Re: [kde-linux] Forwarding mail using kmail

Thanks to all your responses, and yes I should have given more information.
The email I am talking about came from a Windows Machine running Eudora. I
myself have Suse 10.2 and use KMail as my client. When receiving the
message with embedded images I can see them fine. When I forward the email
to the user who sent it to me unmodified (as a test) the images are gone
and just listed at the bottom of the email. When the information in the
email is related to the image(s) it's hard to understand when they are not
associated making no sense of the forwarded email. Someone suggested I
forward the email to them but unless I can send the unmodified one as well
I don't think it would make any sense.

Hi Dale,

Windows handles email perfectly with pictures and the ability to edit
your HTML email with the ability to cut and paste HTML email without

All the best,

Dan,

Try changing your word length to about 72 characters. It is really a
bitch to have to scroll left and right to just read what has been
posted. I know Linux can handle it and I am sure that Windows can also.
FWIW, Linux can handle html emails just fine. Perhaps the distro he is
using has set the client to no show html email. He never mentioned what
Linux distro or email client that he was using. Perhaps if he would of
mentioned what he was using, someone could of given him a more precise
answer. Sending html email is just a bad idea for so many reasons, here
are a few that will explain it

If that isn't reason enough, even some major ISP's mark html as spam. I
have also have my email servers set up to mark them as spam. HTML email
take up lots of bandwidth, I am sure those that are on dialup will
appreciate it if one just sent plain text emails.

If one really wants to make sure that their email goes through send it
in plain text. If one must display pictures or have html, than build a
website to display that stuff and send the person a link to it.

When I forward an email which includes embedded images in the text,
they are removed and the only reference to them is at the end of the
email. Is there anyway I can forward email leaving the images in the
correct place as per the original email.
