This would seem to be the best solution.  I have no idea how easy or diffic=

this would be to implement.  My need to do this is rare, but real.  It woul=

Here is a question as to how we can accomplish this now.

Most of the time kmail displays in-line images in-line.  Occasionally, they=
=20
appear only as attachments, and other times they appear as both.  I am not=
=20
sure what composing method triggers what behavior.

Suppose I wanted to fire up Quanta and compose an HTML message.  Then I wan=
ted=20
to incorporate it into a kmail message so that most mail clients would=20
display it inline.

What is the best way to accomplish that?  Just save and attach?  Copy and=20
paste the code into the editor?  But the latter wouldn't work for images.  =
Is=20
there any way to make this work on the few occasions we need to have tables=
=20
and images?
