This is a choice I and others would like to have, while you and others for some reason do not want to have the choice available. I have been using KMail for the last 3-4 years and am aware both of its great usefulness as well as some of its weaknesses. I suspect you have been using it longer than that as you have assisted me with solutions to problems many times. Nevertheless, I would like to see a better editor and HTML reply available. As a choice. Kind regards Sinclair ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
