True. But I guess that most of the work to put HTML support into 
KMComposer will be done again in order to add HTML support to some 
Komposer plugin. Or does the HTML support not heavily rely on the 
underlying KEdit (which is based on some long deprecated Qt class) and 
on the current layout handling in KMComposer?
I'm not saying that the work should be stopped. But I'm pretty sure that 
most of the work will not be portable to the Komposer framework so that 
then the work will have to start from scratch. Anyway, if I'm wrong 
with this assumption then just ignore me. ;-)

Yeah. I really would like to be able to see all those spam messages in 
all their beauty. ;-) I guess I just don't know enough Outlook users 
because I never ever received a multipart/related message which wasn't 
spam.

Don, you should really relax a bit. It's not as if you would have to fix 
each and every bug in KMail. You should really put some trust in your 
fellow developers and you shouldn't take all complaints about the 
"buggy" KMail too serious. After all we are using KMail HEAD all the 
time, so it really can't be that broken.

Regards,
Ingo
