What exactly do you mean with "the message is delivered blank"? |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
If you configure KMail and set the Default send method as "Send |
| 19 |
Later" (under Accounts > Sending), and you compose a message and |
| 20 |
press Ctrl+Enter, is the message in the outbox blank? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And the original message becomes blank too? If you reply to a |
| 23 |
message, the content of that original message disappears? |
| 24 |

You are now using Gmail for sending messages, no? Please switch of |
| 26 |
the additional HTML you are sending. And please don't top-post. |

Okay mate, no more top-posting... |
| 36 |
Thanks, BTW for the link to the correct definition of top-posting :-) I |
| 37 |
really did not know for sure what it meant. And, for what I have seen, a |
| 38 |
lot of folks get really annoyed by the praactice... |
| 39 |
As for the HTML, I could not find in the Gmail settings a way to turn |
| 40 |
this off. The only thing that I changed that is remotely similar, was |
| 41 |
the UTF-8 encoding (I turned on). |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
And, with regards to the Kmail issue, I found the following: |
| 44 |
1. My replies, as they are stored in the "Sent" folder are not blank. |
| 45 |
2. The people I have been replying to, and that have told me that I have |
| 46 |
empty replies, use MS Outlook as their e-mail client... so to me, that |
| 47 |
in itself could be an explanation of the problem :-) |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Anyway, thanks for your help. |

There's a <Plain Text> / <Rich Formatting> selector above the body text |
| 57 |
field on the Gmail gui. So you need to choose the format each time you |
| 58 |
compose a message. |
| 59 |
|

Some lists (not sure about this one) consider it an anathema to use |
| 61 |
anything but ASCII encoding . . . |
