Uh? Displaying HTML e-mails is disabled by default in KMail. You have to
explicitly enable this in the Security section of the configuration
dialog. This option is near the other one you have to check if you want
KMail automatically loads external references embedded in an HTML
message.
But I think the limitations about which the OP was referring to are the
ones when we want to send HTML e-mail, not to see received HTML mail.
The KMail composer is still limited when it comes to creating HTML
messages. But worst than that is the impossibility to forward HTML e-
mail retaining its original format, unless you forward it as an
attachment, but then you can't add your comments to the original
message.
For reading incoming HTML mail, KMail is ok.
What I was objecting to was that one day, after an update, I suddenly found
that I was sending html mail. The default now appears to be to have html
enabled for sending. I consider that very bad practice. To have the
capability so that people can switch it on if they desire is fine, but to have
html as the default is not.
To compound the issue, it isn't just that the update was a major one. Twice
since then it has been re-set to enabled after updates.
