[Bug 1102859] [NEW] Problem applying filter from inside kmail -- perhaps arguments for external command lost

[tbd]

Public bug reported:

I am having a problem with the filtering mechanism inside Kmail. The
issue is that right now I cannot determine if the problem is in the
definition of the filters or somewhere else.

The scenario is the following. I am using the crm114 mechanism for
classifying spam mail and for indicating crm114 which I would like to be
classified as good and which as spam. For crm114 I am using the
mailreaver method as recommended. The problem is when defining the
filter for identifying a mail as spam and making crm114 to learn it as
such. Being defined some rules for filtering before, the rule for
learning a mail as spam I am using is the following:

   Redirect through: 'crm -u ~/.crm114 mailreaver.crm --spam'

This has been done so since it is recommended in the crm114
documentation. This rule is the last one of the set of rules defined
inside kmail. Seriously, I do not know if when intended to be applied
this filter some other filter is taken instead --but this filter is
indeed intended to be used since I've tried to do so from the menu and
from an icon placed on purpose on the tools bar-- or if what happens is
that the '--spam' option were not considered at all, so that when one
thinks that it is learning that mail as spam it is taken in fact as
good. I have tried to run that command with the option outside kmail and
then it learns it as spam correctly, but from inside Kmail it is making
somethig else.

I can also say that I have the impression that I had been experiencing
this issue with some previous versions of kmail as well.
