Yes, as I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, the current version of Kmail defaults to sending both plain text and HMTL parts for every email.
Also, as I mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this is not a discussion about the merits of HTML vs plain text. As long as emails to the mailing list contain a plain text part, I know of no problem caused by them also containing an HTML part, which the receiving MUA is welcome to ignore.

Yes, the original email I sent starting this discussion was not wrapped at any column. I did so so that everyone can see how their MUAs render such emails.

All of the subsequent emails I have sent as part of this discussion have been wrapped at 80 characters inline with the current mailing list code of conduct.

I feel that it is important I follow the current code of conduct as I advocate for its change.
