Fwd: kmail doesn't render HTML messages -- more
Hi.
After sending the message below, I upgraded my machine at school to
the KDE 2.2.1 from unstable. It is now an up-to-date testing system,
with all of the KDE-related packages taken from unstable. The
version of kmail is 4:2.2.1-1.1.
I thought that might solve the problem noted below in KDE 2.1.2 and
kmail, but it didn't. The machine at school ALSO won't render HTML
pages. And I also checked its configuration, preferences, etc., as
well as I could (see below).
Does anyone know if perhaps KDE has removed HTML rendering from
kmail, perhaps as a security measure? Or can anyone suggest what
might be mis-configured or missing on my systems?
BTW, I just noticed that kmail in unstable is now at version
4:2.2.1-1.2. That version now depends on libc6 >= 2.2.4-2, which is
higher than the version of libc6 in testing. Does that mean that KDE
2.2.1 won't make it into testing until libc6 2.2.4-3 does?
All best,
Oliver Johns

Hi,
Has anyone else seen this, or am I missing the point somewhere?
I have an up to date testing system, with KDE 2.1.2 and kmail 1.2.
About two weeks ago, kmail suddenly stopped rendering HTML email
messages. They now come out as the ASCII codes instead. Before two
weeks ago, the HTML was rendered correctly, and automatically. I can
cut and paste the HTML into a file and see it correctly in konqueror
or netscape, so it seems to be good HTML. Is it possible that
upgrade of some package about that time upset kmail's ability to
render HTML?
I have checked the following kmail settings:
Folder:"Prefer HTML to plain text" --- checked
Settings:Configuration:Appearance:Layout:"Prefer plain text to HTML
rendering" --- unchecked.
~/.kde/share/kmailrc:[Reader]:htmlMail=true
~/.kde/share/kmailrc:[xxx]:htmlMailOverride=false
where xxx is the name of each folder defined.
