You'll need an account with the TDE gitea server. https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/user/login Once you have that, log in, click on "Issues" at the top left, then "TDE/tdepim" in the list down the left side (since kmail is part of that component), then "New Issue" on the upper right. This will give you a form. Fill it out. Since this is an RFE, it would be nice to prefix the title with "RFE" or "Wishlist" or something, so that the development team knows it's a new feature and not a broken existing one. You can also set the "SL/Wishlist" label, if you like. In "Steps to Reproduce", you can describe where you think your new option should logically be located. The rest should hopefully be straightforward. Formal bug filing is done in the same way. > I didn't realize my email program (claws-mail) had it > > until this discussion caused me to check it, because it isn't a feature > > I have a need for. > > Claws Mail <3 > > My top clients would be: > > Evolution, then Claws, then KMAIL. Claws does what I need it to do and doesn't intrude otherwise—much like TDE. I tried out three or four different mail clients when I moved from Windows to Linux ~19 years ago, and ended up with sylpheed, then the claws fork. E.
