Even if in Security -> Reading -> 'Prefer HTML to plain text' is toggled. On next startup KMail will open messages in plain text mode.
It may be the same thing I am seeing. If you don't have the "show HTML bar" option set then you won't see the HTML. configure->appearance->message window->show html bar must be set else I don't see the HTML version of the message.
It works fine here. What is you kmail version ?
version 5.4.3
(In reply to Laurent Montel from comment #2) > It works fine here. > What is you kmail version ? 5.4.3 (Although this bug has been present for previous versions) When you mean it works fine, have you toggled the Security -> Reading -> 'Prefer HTML to plain text', closed, relaunched kontact/kmail to find that it renders html messages without any additional work? Because in my case ill need to retoggle the Security -> Reading -> 'Prefer HTML to plain text' for Kmail to render an html message.

You mean the HTML Sidebar?
Same here. I configured KMail2 to prefer HTML to plain text. This is what happens: # Preconditions - Kmail configured to prefer HTML to plain text - Message preview enabled (besides the message list) - HTML status bar enabled # Steps to reproduce 0. Shut down Kontact, if it is running 1. Start Kontact 2. Click on a HTML email in the message list # Expected result The email is shown in HTML format in the message preview. # Actual result The plaintext view is used, even though I enabled to prefer HTML to plain text. # Additional info When I double click the email in the message list, the standalone message window opens and shows the email in HTML format (expected result). Then, when I close the standalone message window, click on another email in the message list, and then go back to the first one, HTML format is used (expected result). However, if I restart Kmail/Kontact, then again KMail ignores the "prefer HTML" setting.
Created attachment 107343 [details] Screenshot of the message preview and the standalone message window Screenshot of the message preview and the standalone message window, both showing the same email. IN the message preview pane, the email is rendered in plaintext mode instead of HTML mode.
