Can you please add the patch from http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259468 to the tree? Thanks.
Ditto here... Kmail Version 1.13.5 (KDE 4.5.5) Thanks as well.
Created attachment 260606 [details, diff] Revert copy/paste html patch I remembered the trick for applying user patches using portage by creating an appropriately named directory in /etc/portage/patches so I created /etc/portage/patches/kde-base/kmail-4.4.9 and dropped that patch in that directory and reemerged kmail and I can confirm the it does apply and it does fix the problem of trying to paste text and getting html instead. YAY!
Thanks, but I'd prefer this patch to be committed in portage.
should be fixed in 4.4.10, feel free to reopen if the problem persists
