I'll continue the thread with an attempt to bring it back to something
more on-topic.
First let me say that while I hold the typical geek attitude of
"HTML Mail Considered Harmful", I accept it and could not survive by
simply deleting all the HTML-only mail I get. Usually I'll even
display HTML rather than plaintext in cases where both formats are
included, just because it's a lot easier to read (although I rarely
include remote content).
I wanted to say that I'm happy with the way Kmail handles HTML with one
exception. I often surf around my email, up and down, and one thing
Kmail doesn't do that it really ought to is REMEMBER what format I
(last) chose to display a given message in! If I've clicked on the
security banner in a message to display the HTML, it should (darn well)
remember that at least for the current session. If I've clicked to
display remote content, it should remember that as well. I can't stand
having to click again and again if I happen to surf away from a message,
and then back to it.
This just seems like common sense to me. I would NOT consider it a
"security feature" that I am being made to "decide" again each time what
format to display. Isn't there anyone else who is driven crazy by this?
There, I've said my piece :-) I hope a developer or two is reading.
Dave
