Bug 54779

You didn't list your kmail version, so I suspect you are on something prior to 3.1 -- in 3.1 when 
you come across an HTML message, the message is displayed "as source" in the window with a 
message box at the top reminding you "it may be dangerous" to view this.  At the end is a "click 
here" item that will render the message "right now" ["one time render", if you will -- if you navigate 
away and return to it, you have to click "here" again] 
 
What I'd like to see [if I can piggy back onto this request] is the ability to REMEMBER this 
sender as someone who sends "safe" html  [there are a couple of people on some mailing lists I'm 
on that send html only -- I can't really fault them personally, because they are sending from a 
"work" account where their employer/IT department has mandated outgoing mail should be 
HTML...] 

Subject: Re:  Able to view an HTML email as a one-time option         

Hi there Tom-

Yes I am using KMail-3.1, but yes also I have just
upgraded so am not familiar with every feature yet.
That is a good thing to know, and thanks very much for
pointing it out. Personally, I'd still like to see a
menu assignment for it, but agree that it will get the
job done in any case as it is.

I don't mind at all adding the bit about making a
permanent per-email-address setting at that point. I
would like to see that feature also. I hope this wish
gets into the next version of K-Mail.

Thanks for the response

John

Subject: Re:  Able to view an HTML email as a one-time option

As Tom already pointed out you can already temporarily enable HTML 
rendering. Please note that this only works for HTML-only messages.

And regarding the wish to add a whitelist of people for which HTML 
rendering should be allowed I'd like to point out that you can enable 
HTML rendering per folder via Folder->Prefer HTML to Plain Text. So you 
can simply enable HTML rendering for the folder(s) where you filter the 
messages sent by your friends to.

Subject: Re:  Able to view an HTML email as a one-time option         

Yes, but this doesn't affect the "load content from
the net" settings. Pictures won't load. I am
requesting a feature that will temporarily (one-time)
override any default restrictions and allow the user
to view the email as html.

I have reviewed the new features in the latest versions of KMail and there is still nothing approaching the facility I am requesting...

I would like a button (or other method) to view a SINGLE message in HTML mode. That means I would be making a _conscious choice_ to override the safety feature(s) of Kmail.

I normally run Kmail with the ability to load external references turned OFF but otherwise allow HTML-formatted messages. I would like to be able to see something I like, and press a button to see the message One Time in its fully rendered form-- including external references-- without altering the normal operation of the folder or kmail.

could you please stop reopening bugs from looking at feature lists?

There is a patch that handles this now, see bug 76256
