As I have no coding experience whatsoever in this environment, my thinking here may be completely off base, and I will be happy to be enlightened by those who actually know what they are talking about. Anyway: I'm not sure I understand exactly why this feature would be so complicated to implement. An email comes to you in HTML format, and Kmail displays it as such. You hit "Reply," and the composer accepts HTML formatting and displays your formatted text as you enter it. Kmail should not have to actually do anything extra to *get* the inserted Reply text into HTML format; it came in that way, and is just being inserted into an editor already capable of understanding and displaying HTML on the fly. Kmail must be actively *doing* something extra to convert the original HTML into plain text, invoking routines that strip out the tags and replace them with * and / and whatnot. Is it really such a big deal to just stop the program from doing that, and instead of doing the extra work to process the existing HTML into plain text, just have it insert what it *already has* into your reply? Ideally with a checkbox that lets you strip the HTML or not at your discretion? It doesn't seem to me like it would involve any major start-from-scratch code rewrite or anything. But like I say, this is coming just from my own ignorance of what might be involved. Add me to the roster of users who really like Kmail/Kontact, but quite honestly can't use it because of this issue. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.kde.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
