FWIW, you can tell mozilla apps to NOT display the original characters by using Content chrome via the '.../chrome/userContent.css' file: This is defined for example at: http://www.holgermetzger.de/efaqmailnews.html#18 You can change the default display attributes via something like: /* change Mozilla's * bolding to something else */ b.moz-txt-star { font-style: bold; color: white; background: blue; } as well. I can't, unfortunately, tell you how you might do this in kmail, but i don't immediately see any 'css' type equivalence in the Debian 'kmail' package contents. On quick glance it appears to me that this type of thing would be handled via the /usr/lib/kde3/libkmail_bodypartformatter* plugin libs, but the documentation on this seems nearly non-existent. (and i see no plugin interface selection in Kmail's configuration interface) --stephen ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
