Ron,

We are experimenting with an HTML signature feature for KMail for release
with KDE 3.5.6.   In fact, we are using the patch you mention during our testing.
And we have found the patch lacking; there is more work to make it behave nicely.

Some possible options:
 1. wait for KDE 3.5.6 and hope that we get the HTML signatures implemented
     to our satisfaction for inclusion.

 2. download the patch for KDE 3.5 sources, build and install kdepim yourself,
     and maybe it works well enough for you.  If not, make it work better and send
     us back an improved patch.  To get the KMail sources, you need to get
     the source for the entire kdepim package.

 3. you could also help us test.  which is basically #2 but with the development sources.

-Allen
