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)

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.

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.

sure, there are always things that are only (or better) available in one
environment than in another (true even for windoze ;-) )
same goes vice versa (features only available in linux, NOT in any windoze
flavour).
and these are far more.
at least for me.

Kmail is already capable of creating html emails as well as displaying
html emails.
The default is simply off. It can be activated in setting for full on
use or as needed per email.
I agree, html email is bad and its being abandoned by the majority for
security sake.
However Tim is correct, the option should be there.,
The most logical solution is to repeat what was done on 3.5.10, make
it available with off as the default.
Off to sleep!

That was the gist of the long thread where we thought Trinity was going
to do the bounty based work to implement it. There is rudimentary HTML
composition available in Trinity KMail as far as I recall. It is
limited but it works. The outcry on the KDE forums was that one could
not reply to an HTML mail and retain its formatting. The reply was
always converted to plain text - John

Sorry, I was unaware of that feature. My fault! Trinity is so large that
I can easily lose track of things.... :-)
