Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.92) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1) OS: Linux I have received several emails recently where only the plaintext part is displayed and it says 'No html message' down the left side of the preview panel. But upon viewing the source of the email there is clearly an html part which is being ignored. It's not happening with every email that contains html though.
Created attachment 9694 [details] Source of an email where the html part is ignored (spam btw)
Having looked through a few messages now, it seems like if both plain text and html parts are present then the html is ignored and only the plaintext is shown. When only html is present then I get the proper message 'Note: This is an html message. For security reasons....'
This happens to me too, from time to time. The raw email message ( see attachment below) only shows the line: "This is a HTML message. Open it using a HTML compliant email application." The actual message is not displayed.

hello Dik, which version are you using ? my recent svn version displays both messages correctly.
I can confirm this problem with KDE 3.5.1, it's easily reproduceable: 1. Create a new message 2. Enable HTML-Formatting 3. write some words and apply some HTML-Formatting 4. save the message in Drafts folder 5. open the message in Drafts folder The message you just created is a multipart/alternative message. The first part is the text-only part which is displayed by default. There is no indication, that this message also has a html-part (only if you scroll down and look in attachments). Kmail should somehow indicate that this is a multipart/alternative message. The default behavior of displaying multipart/alternative messages should be configurable. It should be configurable if Kmail displays the html-part or the text-part by default.
In kmail 1.10.0 (kde 4.1.60 svn trunk 838252) there is the global option (in security, reading, html messages) to read mails using the html part (less secure) or the plain text part (more secure). Also, in the plain text, pressing over the html part you can see the raw html message and pressing a link the html formatted message.
Changed to a wish for: The side pane actually shows the part type actually shown. The wish is to show the message type actually shown, that in the case of multipart/alternative messages with plaintext and html, should be HTML message.
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
So I ran into that problem also. Moreover I have discovered that in cases that the MIME-Type is "multipart/mixed" instead of "multipart/alternative" HTML-document an plain-text-document may go along and the "Note: This is an HTML message...."-Box appears as wanted and expected. The contrary incidents where a daily mail from the mailing-list of "linux-magazin.de" and a thread of mails and replies and replies via googlemail.com. So the big question is: is there a way to set/change the MIME-Type? kmail ver:1.11.4 os:Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.x86_64 comp:gcc
Created attachment 39911 [details] "No HTML Message" displayed to the left of the message pane. I'm seeing a similar problem with version 4.3.2. One of my correspondents must have changed their mailer, since earlier emails from the same source used to work. I'm attaching the message. Both Evolution and Thunderbird can view this email.
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
