I wouldn't call it "choice" when you are forced to drop an e-mail client
you like just because it lack one feature that it should be there (it's a
GUI e-mail client, it allows creating html e-mails, so... why not having
a full featured html editor that allows forwarding/replying while keeping
the original format?).
Besides, there are "thounsand" users wanting such feature.

I fail to see a direct relation between this example and Kmail html
issue, because you cannot go and turn off the light (you are not allowed
to do it so, but police) but you can still have plain text e-mail
forwarding _or_ html e-mail forwarding: here the choice is fully yours.

Having the option of using html e-mails does not mean you are forced to
go that path, it is up to you when using plain text e-mail or html. Now,
Kmail users do not have that choice.
