I see two possibilities to implement this:
a) Add a Show As HTML status flag. Then the user could decide per 
message whether it should be rendered as HTML. (cf. 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56950)
b) For messages from trusted senders HTML is enabled (AFAIK there's 
another wish for this but I don't find it).

What do you think? I'm undecided towards a) and I think b) would be a 
good idea.

Regards,
Ingo
