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.

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.

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.
