need to know a solution to Kmail problem..please help.

Sorry for this repost, but I still really need a solution to this or else I'll have to abandon using Kmail here at work, which would be unfortunate because I love the way it synchs up with Kaddressbook and my Palm pilot. The problem is when I try to reply to HTML emails I receive from some Outlook users. I want to reply in plain text, but the HTML format tags are all embedded in the reply. Is there some way I could avoid this from happening? I've tried like every setting I could think of. Thanks for any help with this. I don't have the problem with these e-mails when I use Sylpheed or Evolution but I'd prefer to use Kmail. -- Rick
