 Subject: [gentoo-user] composing fancy html in kmail
 
 
 I want to send an email with both embedded thumbnail images 
 and external 
 hyperlinks. My email client is kmail.
 
 What I want to do is certainly impossible with the kmail 
 editor, however kmail 
 gives you the option of using an external editor. Is there 
 any way I can do 
 what I want and get the result, complete with embedded images 
 and hyperlinks, 
 back into kmail for sending?
 
 If not, is there another email client which will allow me to 
 do what I want - 
 ideally one that will allow me to work in a joined up way 
 like you can with 
 kontact, evolution, m-ess outlook etc?

I can't remember if Thunderbird has a GUI for HTML editing (never used
it), but have you tried using applications like Quanta+ or even OOo as
an external editor to kmail?  Alternatively, would something like
Vim/kate/etc. work, but you will need to write your own HTML tags and
also change the mail header in kmail to reflect the fact that this is a
multipart text/html message (not sure how to do this).

I am not at my machine to try any of the above, but please post back if
you can get it working.  Some times HTML tags are more useful to convey
information than plain text.

I did try using OOo. Unfortunately it could not manage to return something 
that the kmail compose window would even display as html, let alone allow me 
to embed pictures.

However I have now found that it +is+ possible to do everything I want in 
Evolution. Could this be time to switch? Does anyone has any thoughts or 
flames about kmail/kontact vs. evolution in general?

Many thanks
Robert
