i’ve never used KMail, but many mail clients allow the user to set their
desired quote mark…so, to solve this problem i’d begin by looking in
KMail’s set up to see if maybe the below is set as its way to mark
quoted passages:

And it wouldn’t be bad to tell which openSUSE level, which KDE level and in this case of course which Kmail level.

How do you think we can make any statement about an very very unknown level of a piece of software. We can then possibly only say: “I do not have that problem”.

openSUSE 11.4 x86_64
KDE 4.4

I thought you could find it in my profile !!

not all folks will go off looking for info that they expect to be given
along with the question…there are about 5000 question makers here and
less than 50 answer makers…so, provide the needed info with the
question if you want the answer…

in almost every email client i’ve seen the user could select the quote
marker…

apparently yours is currently set to

Just forget to mention it normally I always do.
Most forums use a caption or underline.

The quote marker change did not solve the problem.
I still get additional lines

I still get additional lines

… which are produced by some stupid mail clients on the other side. You can use procmail to pipe mail messages through some script to eliminate multiple blank lines.

Ok problem is then @home.nl

Can I use procmail with kmail ?
Thanks.

Can I use procmail with kmail ?

Where do you fetch your mail from? And how?

Usually mail is piped through procmail before it is seen by any client.

then you need to ask yourself why yours does that and no one else is
having that problem…

try this:
-use YaST to add a new test user
-log out as yourself
-log back in as the new test user
-check to see if the same problem is seen as the new user
-if also seen as the new user then you have a system wide problem
-if it is not, then the problem is in the configs in your /home
-using a tool like diff you might be able to find and fix the config
-or, it may be easier to just migrate to the new user’s /home
-let us know what you find and maybe we can help more…
