My apologies for the html, for some reason kmail seems to think its a good 
idea, and I didn't notice the extra toolbar in the composer screen.  No 
idea what turns in on, but I have to turn it off at least weekly.  IMNSHO, 
turning that on needs a full screen, bright red lettering "Are you really 
really sure you want to turn this on" requester.

Now I'll go back and look at the other messages I've sent recently and see 
if any of them were html too, fix and resend if they are.

Thanks Duncan.
