Description Torgny Nyblom 2011-11-25 13:53:23 UTC
Reuse and extent blogilo's editor for mails.
Comment 1 korgens 2012-06-09 14:09:02 UTC
I second that. Blogilo's editor has three modes: visual, html and preview. It seems that the HTML capabilities are more advanced thatn Kmail's internal editor. Maybe refactoring blogilo to extract the editor as a library that can be used by kmail?

It's my plan for 4.10.
Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2012-07-25 17:48:49 UTC
We can't use it because we don't have background spell checking in webkit
So I improve ktextedit html support.
Perhaps a day webkit (qtwebkit will have background spell checking)
Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2012-12-07 15:11:30 UTC
I started a new lib for 4.11.
qtwebkit-2.3 support background spell checking.
Comment 5 Dmitry 2014-04-23 06:52:50 UTC
The main function I need from the kmail composer is support of quoting original email in replies with <blockquote> tag like it's done in thunderbird. It's our corporate standard and it's the only reason I can't use kdepim for my work purposes.
Comment 6 Philipp A. 2015-11-12 15:56:52 UTC
yeah, and the ability to break out of a <blockquote>, i.e. do inline replies

currently you can only do it by inserting a <table> or <hr> which i then can’t get rid off… the composer really is in a sorry state :(
