This would seem to be the best solution.  I have no idea how easy or difficult 
this would be to implement.  My need to do this is rare, but real.  It would 
be nice to use QTextEdit most of the time, and Quanta when I really need 
formatting.

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 
appear only as attachments, and other times they appear as both.  I am not 
sure what composing method triggers what behavior.

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

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