Kmail and HTML

I am looking for already a long time for the possibility in Kmail to make up my text with HTML.
Is that possible in Kmail? Or do I have to send always in plain text, so, each time same text-size -color - shape etc?

HTML emails can be displayed but you cannot compose them yet. This used to be deliberate because many people regard HTML emails as a Bad Thing (tm). Due to lots of requests for this (mis)feature the authors are working on implementing it for the next version (3.3).

If I would have to make a bet, I would guess it won't be default.
The possibility of HTML editing is more ore less a byproduct of enabling KMail users to choose the editor component, for example KVimPart for VIM users or the above mentioned HTML enabled editor, however that will be implemented.

Yes, I am also confident that it won't be default. Seriously speaking it is a good thing that they are making it an option to write HTML mails since someone might find it useful to use HTML in mails, although I hope I never ever have to receive more HTML mails :).
Kmail team already has made kmail so good that I have abandon pine (sob, it was nice knowing you pine). Damn you! :)
And now, where did you get that kvim example here, did you read my other post? :)

Hmm, perhaps not.
I use this a an example because a friend of mine is a VIM user and asked about it.

Ok, I was just wondering since I asked for help to compile kvim, the same day I answered in this thread.

Personally, I would also like to be able to compose HTML e-mail. Text e-mails often come out formatted bad, and become really really irritating to read...
