Re: [gentoo-user] Forcing kmail to always default to NON-html email

[Fernando Rodriguez]

It remembers the setting but even when it is turned on it only sends HTML if 
you use
Rich Text formatting on the email, so you enable it by actually using rich 
text.
At least that's how it works for me and I keep it on all the time.

Maybe you're doing something that uses rich text without noticing, I think 
there's an option
to parse smileys (I can't check as I'm not on Kmail now) so if you got that 
enabled
and type a smiley it turns HTML on?

I'm afraid yes, as that setting has been unchecked since day 1.

There are times I actually need to send HTML emails. To do that, I need to
press the "Rich Text" button when creating the email (in the compose email
window).

That setting is then remembered the next time I send a new message or want 
to
reply to an email.
Usually I do remember to switch it off, but not always, as is evident when I
accidentally send an HTML email. I need an option in KMail where the "Rich
Text" button is off by default and requires enabling specifically.
