I can't remember if Thunderbird has a GUI for HTML editing (never used |
| 27 |
it), but have you tried using applications like Quanta+ or even OOo as |
| 28 |
an external editor to kmail? Alternatively, would something like |
| 29 |
Vim/kate/etc. work, but you will need to write your own HTML tags and |
| 30 |
also change the mail header in kmail to reflect the fact that this is a |
| 31 |
multipart text/html message (not sure how to do this). |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I am not at my machine to try any of the above, but please post back if |
| 34 |
you can get it working. Some times HTML tags are more useful to convey |
| 35 |
information than plain text. |
