Greetings;
How can I disable kmails penchant for interpreting a typu as a "turn on the )*&$@Y^ html"?
I presume its a hotkey I am accidentally hitting on this short spaced K-360 keyboard. I want it on ONLY if I use the mouse pulldown and checkbox in the kmail editor, and ONLY that.
Its a PIMA, I note that its been turned on somehow, and I have to use the puldown and uncheck the ^$&# box to put me back in plain text about every 3rd msg I send. Aggravating & makes me use bad language.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

+1 Except that I am even worse in that I often fail to notice and *SEND* HTML. I don't want it - ever. I can't read HTML, I do not wish to inflict it on anyone, and I want to discourage those who like and use it. I want to turn it off - permanently. PLEASE??
And it doesn't appear to be as the result of a typo. Sometimes I think it is because the message to which I am replying was in multipart-alternative, which I display as plain text, so usually don't notice, and sometimes it appears to be totally arbitrary.
The spell checker turns on and off arbitrarily too. I would like a way to turn these things on or off far more deliberately, and have them stay as set.

I'm with Lisi here. We need a way to disable html unless we enable it on purpose with the composer->options->html checkbox. Nothing else including a nearby tactical nuke should be capable of enabling it.
However I can't say that clicking on the abc icon ever refused to spell check. But full time active as I type, I think I've only seen once in the last few months I have been running tde, now r14.0.4. And amazingly the KMail handbook pointed me at the composer->options-> spellchecker, which has NO on-off tally, or recognition that you have clicked on the phrase, but its alternate action, so now its showing me Lisi and abc in red. Someplace else I've already forgotten said if too many errors it will shut itself off. With all my fat fingered typing on a too crowded keyboard, that is not surprising.
So here are at least 2 who are digging ditches in the sand of the beach in the shape of HELP please.
Thanks, a lot, for where that hotkey is so we can nuke it forever, plus a couple weeks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

No, nor for me. Works every time. What keeps turning itself off, and I have to keep turning it on again, is the red underlining as I type, which I only found out about recently, and which I find very useful. The trouble is that I don't always notice immediately that it isn't working. No red *could* mean no typing errors - it does happen occasionally! - if I even remember it at all.

I am so used to its not working that it doesn't alarm me when I see no red, but here its never been underlined. That is a relatively minor detail in comparison to the unknown hot key enabling of html formatted output.
know when it happens because of the screen flash I see out of the corner of my eye about 10% of the time. Its a full screen refresh just as you get when you discover its on because there more icons to the right of the encryption multi selector. I suspect its something involving my not reaching far enough for the left shift key, and pressing both it and the ctrl key just below it. These K360 keys are square topped and vertical sided keys, which discourage being hung up like keytops with slanted sides having a piece of metallic cuttings from the lathe or milling machine, following the slant down into the key frame, then because the key sides are slanted, wedging the key down.
And since we can drive the machines given axis with keys in addition to writing the code for complex operations, the X & Y is by the arrow keys, Z being page-up/page-down on the mill, having one of them jammed down usually equals a damaged/broken tool or damaged part, usually both. Cutting tools I can buy, for 10-50 dollars, replacement parts can be worth even more, so stuck keys are to be avoided at all costs. I use this same keyboard here in the house just so I don't have to relearn it when I go to the machines to do something. And I just found a place to buy skins for this keyboard, which should even save things if I spill a cuppa on them, which has also happened in the past.
But I have not been able to deduce the third key that completes this hot-key combo.
And thats why I am pleading now, for a way to remove that html enabling hotkey.
Please people, where is it?
Thanks.

Ok reread. Hotkey combos. Open kcontrol, go to keyboard shortcuts and search there for it. I can't say I've seen one.
Good Luck,

BTDT, nothing even remotely close, rather sparsely configured only to some stuff that switches workspaces.

I don't think that the problem is a hot key. But I'll watch out to see if I can spot such a pattern.

<big snip> You might find settings to change in ~/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc or in /.trinity/share/apps/kmail/<something like kmailui.rc> R.

BTDT, grepping thru it all looking for the usual suspect words. It doesn't exist.
Thanks.
