I'm replying to this message using the same method of selecting only part of |
15 |
your message and evidently it works - I have left out the first paragraph of |
16 |
the original in my selection. |

I have the same kmail version and profile like you. |

Regarding the settings under General/Format, all are enabled except for 'Reply |
21 |
or forward using HTML if present'. The word wrap is set at 78, not sure if |
22 |
this is the default and/or if it makes any difference. |

Given the above it ought to work - or at least it does here. Perhaps if you |
25 |
move out of the way any ~/.kmail2rc and restart kmail, it will create a |
26 |
default file for you to compare its contents against. |
