This could be a problem of your setup. The mail of Burgess Wong contains both 
a plain text version and a HTML version (multipart/mixed).

This allows the recipient's mail reader to display whatever its user prefers, 
in my case the plain text version. Seems your mail reader thinks you prefer 
the HTML version.

The two issues sound similar but not identical. The user on kde-linux had the 
issue that each new tab caused a KWallet authentication request, while here it 
seems to be limited to Chrome startup.

Obviously KWallet as the service can't do anything about Chrome asking for 
access, however, it usually can control whether it needs to ask the user.

I had a look at KWalletmanager and it has the option to not ask at all. 
Alternatively it can have different access rules for different applications.
Maybe the rule for Chrome is currently set to "always ask" and could be 
deleted and at next access replaced with "always grant".

Cheers,
Kevin
