Okay mate, no more top-posting...
Thanks, BTW for the link to the correct definition of top-posting :-) I
really did not know for sure what it meant. And, for what I have seen, a lot
of folks get really annoyed by the praactice...
As for the HTML, I could not find in the Gmail settings a way to turn this
off. The only thing that I changed that is remotely similar, was the UTF-8
encoding (I turned on).

And, with regards to the Kmail issue, I found the following:
1. My replies, as they are stored in the "Sent" folder are not blank.
2. The people I have been replying to, and that have told me that I have
empty replies, use MS Outlook as their e-mail client... so to me, that in
itself could be an explanation of the problem :-)

Anyway, thanks for your help.
