She-who-must-be-obeyed has just become the club secretary and sends mail to 
the committee  most of whom are winders users and here starts the saga:

kmail which she used (and is arguably the nicest GUI mailer) can't be 
configured to not send plain AND html mail. It then wraps every quoted line in 
<p> </p> tags which the winders mailers render as 2 lines [bug reports confirm 
this]
As a result after a few back-n-forth the mail consists of islands of text in a 
sea of blank lines

evolution wont display pictures inline automatically. Easy to click <display 
inline> for one but get a blast with 20 small pictures and it is really 
irritating. [kmail:display inline [] click]
using bogofilter is mindlessly complex. After 1/2 day googling I'm no nearer a 
working solution [kmail: use bogofilter [] click]
evolution seems anally-fixated on the keyring. There is only me and her. I 
dont want and dont need any passwords. [kmail: use wallet? No! Are you sure 
that you want to be so stupid? Yes! Done!]

thunderbird: respond to slug digest selecting 2nd last posting. 
First n hundred lines are included, sorry not the article you selected. Much 
cut and paste if you want to be relevant.
I did not find out how to display inline but I read it can be done.

Any suggestions or do I just bite the bullet with kmail and tough to the 
committee?

James
