Description Steve Grubb 2007-11-29 14:26:42 UTC
Description of problem:
When browsing my email, the font size used to display email will suddenly
increase. It never goes back to its original size without shutting down kmail.
This bothers me since I don't think an email from an untrusted source should
affect global kmail settings. This could be indicative of a security hole.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdepim-3.5.8-5.svn20071013.ent.fc8

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just start reading email on fedora-devel list

Actual results:
Fonts get bigger over time

Expected results:
fonts stay the same.

Comment 1 Kevin Kofler 2007-11-29 16:14:28 UTC
There's a reason KMail doesn't display HTML by default (unless you click 
something explicitly). :-) But the font size set by one mail still shouldn't 
affect the next one, you're definitely right there. I think upstream is the 
best place to report this though.

Comment 2 Steve Grubb 2007-11-29 16:54:03 UTC
I don't have html email enabled because that is a security risk. I do not click
on html email, I instead delete it.

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2007-11-29 17:03:26 UTC
So the font size changes on text-only mail?! Ouch, that sounds fairly bad 
indeed.
