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.
Comment 2 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:07:13 UTC
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
Comment 3 Grósz Dániel 2013-10-02 21:07:55 UTC
Still valid, as it seems to me.
Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2013-10-03 05:20:31 UTC
For the moment not possible, webkit editor is too limited but I created a library for it.
Will try to improve it but not for 4.12

I support enabling it. For instance, there is no obvious way to select fallback fonts in the UI editor, and editing HTML could be a feasible workaround.

It it still planned for any future version?

a very annoying thing is e.g. that you can’t break out of a blockquote to reply inline.

pressing backspace or dedent while on a blank line inside of a blockquote should basically insert </blockquote><br><blockquote> and place the cursor on the blank line.

but until then i at least need *any* way to do it – e.g. a way to edit the source.

and don’t get me wrong: that functionality is also necessary after the composer became perfect – some things will never be possible otherwise
