Hi!

When I receive an HTML message and forward it, I loose the HTML formating.
I've been checking other bug reports, but it seems this is not a duplication.
I've tested with redirect, and it works as expected (part of a closed bug), but when i forward it, all I have is a plain text message.

Since Kmail already suport HTML messages, and it works for redirect, this should be quite easy to solve, IMHO.

Best regards!

I can reproduce this bug with kmail 1.11.1 on kde 4.2.1. Forwarding a HTML-email as attachment works fine, but fowarding an HTML email inline creates a plain text email.

I think if original mail is html then forward or reply should be html by default. And user should be able to change it after compose window is opened.

This will be solved together with html replies.
