Just a very humble note to remember, that not everyone has not only the same
point of view bat even the same abilities. E.g. my son is handicapped. He has
impaired sight but additionally needs to have the things more simple to
understand it. 
Kmail is actually the only mail client, which was possible to customize for his
need. Yes, Kmail won in totally different field, than one could expected. It
could be customized to be very simple, with big letters and big icons with best
ratio between ability to see context and size of letters and icons. 
For me it always was a SW, which, if needed and if one is willing to spend many
hours, is able to be customized in totally unique level. And this is absolutely
different approach than the famous "we know perfectly what is the best for
users, so we do that regardless the user want it or not" :-) . 
So the point of my note is, if it's really necessary to leave an area with
unique position of the product. Btw. thanks my son's special needs, I
discovered Linux years ago and we all switched to it as well. So back to Kmail.
We can sure live with the html "something", but reading the discussion, I have
a fear, that something has changed in the general approach and after next few
changes like that, it becomes already unusable for us. And it would be very
sad.
