[kmail] Does not render HTML Mails

I have mails that are not recognised as html emails but contain lots of html code - these emails are totally unreadable.

somehow I did not see this problem on my own computer yet, so I dunno if its a configuration problem, but it could also be that I exchange emails only with people with 'good' email software...

Any ideas ?

KMail doesn't display HTML emails by default (for security reasons). Instead, if there is no plain text version of the mail along with the HTML one, it displays the HTML code as is. On top of the message, it displays a box telling you this and also offering you a link to activate HTML display for this single time if you trust the sender.

Maybe that's what you are seeing?

Of course, this default behaviour can be changed. If I recall correctly, the option is called "prefer HTML emails" or something along those lines. It's under Settings -> Security

That is what I see in real html emails.
But I have a lot that others that include html code whithout being displayed as html emails.
