Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I would like to have an option in the settings menu to turn off quoting of the received mail when answering. There are some workarounds: 1. Choosing "reply without quote" in the main window. 2. Adding a "reply without quote" button to the main window toolbar. #1 is too inconvenient to use every time. When choosing workaround #2 you still have the problem when you answer mail after you open it in a separate window, since you cannot add that specific button there. (Adding a "noquotreply" line to kmreadermainwin.rc manually doesn't work either.) Being workarounds they don't really solve the problem. An option (like in Thunderbird/Icedove and all other email clients I know of) to turn off quoting entirely would be highly appreciated. If you were able to add a "reply without quote" button to the reader window, it would make me happy too.
This is possible in current KDE (4.3 and probably a lot earlier). Set up a custom reply template for your chosen identity, or change the standard global template. Instead of using the %QUOTE command, use the %TEXT. This inserts the message text as is, instead of quoting.
Correct. That's possible.
