Please, make OFF the default. IINM, that's what it has been until
recently in the KDE4 world. The change in default caught many unawares
and it upset quite a few folks -- tracking the chatter on usenet.

We aim to provide our users with what they want. Philosophically there is
no problem with adding HTML support (through an as-of-yet unknown
technical means ;-))--in the TDE style of doing things there would be a
configuration option to shut off the HTML reply feature. Sorry but as much as there are all kinds of
technical and security
reasons why this should not be done (which I wholeheartedly embrance and
which is why KDE resisted for so long), the business case is
overwhelming. Â KMail is a non-starter without it in many environments -
sure, but why the heck should it (especially the kde 3.5.x version) be
a 'starter' in an ms-outlook-crap dominated environment ?
makes no sense, IMHO.
those who want/need things like that, for whatever reason, are surely
better off with kde 4.x (which has even more 'ms-features' anyways)
