Since someone else did their evaluation, I thought it was time I took another look at KMail. The new version in 11.1B5 is very nice, and handles somethings even better than Thunderbird. However, as it always has, it just doesn't begin to handle HTML anywhere near as well as T-Bird!! I had hoped it did, not that I use it all the time...I don't. But, when it's is necessary, it needs to do a good job. Maybe in a year or so it will handle it correctly and with a full compliment of features users want.
I agree, fred. There's not enough HTML support.
I tried an HTML message and sent it to my outlook mailbox. It was able to format text alright - though no tables or images. I was unable to paste an image (png file) into the message body, nor was I able to insert one inline. I only got binary gobblygook when I tried.

Yep.....bout what I had on my tests. I can't even highlight an HTML post that I receive, and be able to paste it - just as it's displayed - in a new HTML post.....pics are only referenced...NOT displayed. In T-Bird, all is there and as it should be. I can easily edit anything in it, and then send it on.
The formatting came across fine, though.
Yes.....but nothing else is right. I suspect that the authors of KMail don't like HTML and therefore just haven't put the effort into it that they should have.
