Bug 363027

I have noticed that the html settings (properties of folder -> view -> message default format) actually do something, but in a wrong way. 
If I set this option to "prefer html over text" and click "OK" afterwards, it is reset to "use global settings" the next time I open the dialog. However, if I click "prefer html over text" and switch back to "use global settings" and than click OK, the option is set to "prefer html over text" the next time and the messages are also displayed in html.  

load external resources seems to be removed completely from the folder settings in 16.04.1....

"load external resources seems to be removed completely from the folder settings in 16.04.1...." for sure it was never put in dialog...
So it was never implemented as settings for folder

cool/THX! I was just checking out kdepim.git to try to fix it myself :-) 

Regarding the "load external ref" option: I am not sure if it was there. Maybe i just was used to it from the contact editor. 
Background: I only moved to the per folder settings because of Bug 363024 (both above mentioned html option were removed from the contact settings).

I know it was removed as I didn't find a good area to put it in new interface.
It's still on my todo list.

i have to re-open this as the per-folder settings again have no effect in kmail2 5.3.1

It seems that the hotkey to "Toggle HTML Display Mode" is ineffective, as well.   I am on

Version 5.3.0 (QtWebEngine)
Using:
KDE Frameworks 5.27.0
Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0)
The xcb windowing system

via KDE/neon 4:16.08.1+p16.04+git20160918.0030-0

Since this bug now seems to concern multiple different issues, let's try to untangle it a bit:

> i have to re-open this as the per-folder settings again
> have no effect in kmail2 5.3.1

This should work again after the first fix to Bug 419948. If not, feel free to open a new bug.

> It seems that the hotkey to "Toggle HTML Display Mode" is ineffective

See Bug 375314.

> load external references

It's probably better to file a separate bug, should there still be any issue left.

I do not see the direct relation to Bug 375314 despite Comment 8 mentioning it. So lets keep the two separate until we can directly link them to the same error source. I have "HTML email disabled by default". Thus, my setting does not apply to the other bug in this asppect.

And yes, I can still reproduce the issue with 
- KDEPIM 5.13.3 (19.12.3)
- Frameworks 5.69.0

It would be helpful if you could specify what exactly is still not working for you, preferably with detailed steps to reproduce.

> I do not see the direct relation to Bug 375314

Yes, it is a different bug. That's why I referred to that different bug, instead of having Comment 8 confuse everyone over here.

> I can still reproduce the issue with KDEPIM 5.13.3 (19.12.3)

As you can see in Bug 419948, this has only been fixed in 5.14.0.

oh, I mixed that up. sry for the noise.
