Description Axel Braun 2018-05-28 08:04:10 UTC
KMail offers the option to reply with HTML in case the original message was in HTML.
I have this switched off in general, but in some cases I need to reply with HTML.
For these cases it would be great to have a special 'Reply with HTML', otherwise you have to go to 'settings, enable HTML reply, and afterwards disable it again , which is a bit annoying.
Ideally this special reply is switched off if 'reply with HTML is enabled globally.
Thanks!

Hi,
you can use configure->editor->general => "reply or forward using the same visual format of the original message"
=> you switch as html specific email => you reply it will use html

I know, but this is usually not what I want. In most cases it is sufficient to answer with an ASCII mail, and for the rest one has to change the editor settings as you described, and after the reply back to ASCII...as described in my original message.

I will not add a new menu "reply to html" as duplicate as reply menu.
I added this option for avoiding to do it.

Not sure if we talk about the same thing:
we have Message ->
Reply
Reply all
Reply (special) -> ....

In 'Reply Special', an entry 'Reply in HTML-mode' would be much appreciated
Thanks!

I know it.
But you want to add "reply in html mode" but "reply to all in html mode" or 'reply to author in html mode'  etc. and I don't want to add a big menu for it.
