Bug ID: 403976
Summary: Message viewer: Lines starting with | (pipe symbol)
incorrectly shown as quoted lines
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: UI

Example for a messed up table in kmail2
SUMMARY
Lines starting with | after much whitespace are displayed as quote, although
they should not be. This messes up tables.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a typical Bugzilla CC added message, or create a message like:
What |Removed |Added
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CC| |some...@kde.org
| |someone.e...@kde.org
2. Open it in message viewer
OBSERVED RESULT
Because the last line starts with | (after some whitespace), it is shown as
quote:
What |Removed |Added
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CC| |some...@kde.org
||someone.e...@kde.org
EXPECTED RESULT
To avoid this, do not recognize quoting signs after more than, say, 5 spaces;
or do not remove whitespace from quotes.
It is not a big problem for me if the whitespace is removed when replying to
the message. (Might be a problem for the recipient, though.)
