Summary:
since some days I have a strange problem with KMail (1.13.5) in KDE4.5.5. When
I try to copy some text from an email and past it to any other program (e.g.
Openoffice), not only the marked text will be pasted, but a kind of HTML code
including the text.
I found the same bug in a Fedora mailing list (of course, whithout an answer):
http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-users/msg388782.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The bug does not occur in KDE4.4. I think bug came with KDE 4.5.4 or 4.5.5.

Actual Results:  
This is an example what will be pasted (instead of xxxxtestxxxx):
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<body><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">xxxxxtestxxxx</font></body>"

Expected Results:  
Kmail should have only copied/pasted xxxxxtestxxxx

The bug does not occur in KDE4.4. I think bug came with KDE 4.5.4 or 4.5.5.
Please fix this!!!
