I tried turning this off, and it had no effect on outgoing KMail email -
I would have found it totally illogical if it did have an effect,
since it seems to be explicitly concerned with Reading email.

I agree.
I would like an email client that can _show_ HTML,
but does not using it in _sending_ email unless requested.
I have been assuming that KMail is such a client,
if properly configured.

I have found no setting in KMail that prevents HTML in outgoing email.
If anyone knows where, or how, this can be turned off
(even if it turns off HTML when reading email)
I should be very grateful.

I'm wondering if it could conceivably have something to do with KWrite,
which seems to be the default KMail editor?
(I couldn't find the KMail Handbook, if it exists?)
