I will switch to that e-mail client until a time where kmail is usable for me.

Presumably you are using IMAP, as a business user, so then consider using Thunderbird for this class of client. Or, do them a favour and deliberately use plan text replies to demonstrate how silly their gawdy HTML emails are.
I would rather the limited developer time spent on Kmail go towards making the software more robust than having them try to debug extra bloat just to cater to this business exec class of user that are too naive to know how to use email properly.

Going that kids also use Kmail maybe the feature would be handy...
Still HTML-mail is wrong, but I guess sometimes you have to go with the flow...
btw: why are they so worried about a message they wrote themselves? shouldn't they be more worried about your awnser to it?

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately Thunderbird would only handle my needs as far as regular e-mail, but not contacts or scheduling. Not that it really matters, but I'm actually using a good old fashion POP server to receive e-mail.

IOW, kmail is not intended for use in the business world. It would save everyone a lot of time if this were plainly stated up front.
