            Bug ID: 323709
           Summary: Using KDE 4.10.2 & Kmail 4.10.2, the HTML settings are
                    erroneously re-enabled, e.g. after unrelated changes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.10.4
          Platform: Mageia RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: maurice at bcs.org.uk

I run with Kmail composer HTML settings Disabled, but on several occasions -
after changing e.g. spell- checking settings change, or a system software
update - the HTML settings have been found to have been re-enabled, causing
quite a nuisance until the settings are restored.
  The last occasion was when I used System Settings/Locale/Spellchecking to
enable spell checking, after which I realised that the KMail HTML settings had
been re-enabled.

So somewhere within KDE is some code that is mandating HTML enabled....


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Work with HTML options disabled in KMail (4.10.2) Composer
2. Make some change, e.g. set spellchecking on/off via System Settings/Locale,
or do some system software update changing KDE components.
3. (I now make a weekly check for the HTML settings, and several times each
month find they have been re-enabled.)
Actual Results:  
HTML settings have been fortuitously re-enabled.

Expected Results:  
HTML settings sacrosanct; only the user (or root?) can change them.
