How do I make Kmail properly read html messages?

How do I make kmail properly read html?

I composed a sample message in tunderbird composer:

"This is an html message.
There should be a picture of tux here:
<inserted a jpg of tux in the message with alternate text 'There should be a picture of tux here'> (t-bird's composer provides for an alternate text intended for text only recipents)
This line should be after the picture.
"
I sent it to myself from thunderbird.

Received in kmail, it displayed the alternate text in the message body with the graphic added on as an attachment.

Forwarded back to myself from kmail, it sent the same way ie received in thunderbird it showed the alternate text in the body with the graphic as an attachment. In other words, kmail corrupted the message before sending it on.

View attachments is set to 'inline', prefer html to plain text is on. What other settings are there?

Displaying images in HTML mails which are transferred as multipart mails, i.e. images included in the mail, is one of the additions to KMail in KDE 3.5
