Been there done that. And then it turned out that KMail (to be exact: the qt textedit widget IIRC) handle[s][d] tabs wrongly resulting in a PR with an incorrect Makefile... the fun never ends. The web form is not tab safe either, last time I tried (most certainly the same cause). I've found a resonable solution for this in the ssmtp port. The only thing is that I get my system mail relayed through my cable provider (From: "Root" <danny@ricin.com>) and landing in my POP account, at a hosting provider where I have my domain and email. I haven't bothered to find a solution for this yet. I kinda learnt to like it. There are always workarounds, but really such hurdles just shouldn't be there.

You can simply forward or resend it to gnats (the original wont ever be accepted), though you may need to attach your diff or shar as an attachment (plain text or uuencoded are both accepted AFAIK). And have a go at ssmtp, set mailwrapper accordingly. HTH, Dan
