When I go to Message=>Forward in kmail-1.12.0 (KDE 4.3.0)
I get Forward->With Custom Template (no custom templates)
and it seems I cannot forward email this way.
What is a Custom Template, and how do I create one?

I've never come across that one, and I do forward from time to time.

I can't believe you need to. Try Settings > Configure Toolbars, drop-down the
list to kmail_part, and try the other forward options
Forward
Forward To (no idea what that one does)
Inline.
I use 'Inline'. You can add and subtract from the toolbar and change the icon
if you wish.

Sure, that's the place, but why would he need one? Remember he didn't
choose
to make one, he seems to have been told by kmail that he needs to make one,
and that I've never seen.

Okay. I see a difference between the amount of options in the menu-item Forward
(Message -> Forward) - only shows the option "With Custom Template" - and the
button Forward, which lists "As Attachment", "Inline",
"Redirect" and "With
Custom Template". Why is this different?

Wow! I've never seen that before - I always use the button, which I
configured to forward Inline.
I'll see if I can get an answer for you.

Wow! I've never seen that before - I always use the button, which I
configured to forward Inline.
How did you configure it to forward inline? Mine defaults to "As Attachment". I
normally prefer to forward inline so I have to use the "button-menu" to select
inline each time, as I can't find any way to change that.
I'll see if I can get an answer for you.

Use Configure Toolbars. Add the Inline entry - I think it lacks an icon, but
if you browse icons it's easy to add one. Remove the old Forward entry.

Congratulations, Timothy and Martin :-) You've spotten a bug, almost
certainly unreported at this time. It should get a bug number today, and I'll

Backport r1014138 by tmcguire from trunk to the 4.3 branch:
Fix the problem that the forward menu was empty, because the action list was
plugged before createGUI() was called.
</quote>
so a fix is on its way to us. How's that for service ;-)

Do you mean that when you press the Forward button
it automatically forwards inline?
How do you configure it to do that?
I see a tiny down-arrow in the bottom right-hand corner
of the Forward button, which I managed to hit once,
and which gave me a choice of options including Inline;
but I cannot get hit it again.
"Forward" adds the forwarded message as a text attachment.
I have created another button Inline in my toolbar
which has the desired effect, so I have 2 buttons, Forward and Inline.
Is that what you meant?

I created a Custom Template (Settings->Configure KMail->Composer->Custom
Template) as follows:
1. Enter a name (e.g. MyTemplate) at the left side.
2. Press "+" symbol.
3. Create template (I copied the contents from the default template)
4. Press Apply.
(I left To: en CC: empty)
When I now open the menu-item "Forward" (under Messages), the list is the same
as the one that is connected to the button "Forward". Strange isn't it?

The submenu is brought up by Click and holding the FWD button, as it is
with other buttons.
Try and see if that works for you.

Yes, thanks, that works fine.
I misunderstood the meaning of the tiny down-arrow.

Yes - just remove the old Forward one (Configure Toolbars, again), unless you
have a need for forwarding as an attachment.

I looked at this, but found it completely unintelligible.
I am advised in _How does this work?_ to
"Create the custom template by selecting it
using the right mouse button menu".
I don't know what this means.
I have tried pressing the right mouse button
in various places but none of them brings up a menu.
The KMail Handbook does not seem to mention Forwarding,
although I would have thought that was a lot more common
than some of the things it considers.
