Description S. Burmeister 2008-09-13 14:15:11 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If the user has disabled the mime-tree, because it is not needed for anything else but this issue, he cannot access the html-version of an email, if that email has a plain-text part too.

If the email only has a html-part (actually the worst case), kmail displays a notification and the user can chose to show the html. The same notification should be shown, if there is a plain-text and a html part, since a lot of newsletters use the plain-text part just to tell the user that he has to visit the website, if his email-client cannot display html messages. Although this is the "nicer" version of html-emails, it is not handled as well by kmail as the worst case, i.e. only html.

With this implemented bug 47882 could finally be fixed as well.

Another note: the html part is not even shown as attachment. so either it is not an attachment, then the html-notification should be shown, or it is an attachment, then it should be shown as such and not hidden.

I've just installed KDE 4.2.2 and this feature still exist. I'm tired of explaining to my wife why emails can't be simply accessed.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
