14 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.
17
18 I have the same kmail version and profile like you.

20 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.
23
24 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.
