I'm talking about opening a text file in the HTML renderer, whatever is the
default.

Konqueror can of course use other kparts to display files (katepart e.g.), but
that's not the topic here.

I don't think so, no. Without a large rewrite anyway, as mentioned.

KMail does add HTML stuff to an EMail even if it's just plain text, such as the
header, links to attachments, and so on.
