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)
