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.

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)
