Looking at this email you've just sent, Kmails description of the message shows various parts. Under internal parts, there are both Plain Text, and HTML identified as below. Description Type Encoding Size internal part Plain Text Document 7bit 1.1KB internal part HTML Document 7bit 1.6KB I may have no idea on what I'm talking about here, but it looks like you are sending an email that is capable of being read as a Plain Text Doc, or an HTML Doc. Certainly if I click on the HTML line, Kmail displays the email differently. What was green, and indented in plain text from the previous persons reply, is now all white with no indents.
