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)

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.
Also, I would be careful about bashing Microsoft in terms of the features offered. While I do not like Micro$oft, and I absolutely hate what they did to Windows over the past couple of releases, Windows 2000 and XP were workhorse operating systems that still do things that Linux can't.
