I don't care. If someone has a problem with this then they'll have to 
pay someone to implement this. See for example 
http://www.kontact.org/shopping/.

The German BSI needed some enhancements in KMail/Kontact and instead of 
bitching around on our mailing list they contracted a few companies to 
implement those enhancements. That's how software development works, 
even in the Free Software department. You want something, you pay for 
it (or you do it yourself which you can do because it's Free Software). 
If you don't want to pay for it and can't/don't want to do it yourself 
then you'll have to file a wish and wait (don't hold your breath) until 
someone feels like implementing it (if ever).

It should actually read "click here" (with all HTML tags removed). And 
AFAIU Holger's message it does work like this for him in KDE 3.5.

Be our guest and try to fix it. I have far more important things to work 
on in my precious spare time.

No, it did never work (which isn't entirely true because forwarding as 
attachment did and does always work, but it seems you don't want to use 
this) and it will never work unless you replace the text editor in 
composer by a full featured HTML editor. Currently we use QTextEdit 
which supports RichText but not even something like links. That's why I 
wrote that it's "currently impossible for technical reasons".
