Content-Type: text/plain ...that's your problem. I had the same issue when I moved email from Exchange/Outlook to Evolution. I wrote instructions in the Evolution list server to fix it, you could adapt these: Note that I'm working w/ local files in ~/.evolution/mail/local. The 2005-6 file is the name of my Evolution folder, but that directory has many files w/ that in the name: 2005-6 2005-6.ev-summary 2005-6.ev-summary-meta 2005-6.ibex.index 2005-6.cmeta 2005-6.ibex.index.data 1) Use evolution to search for all email that included "<!DOCTYPE", then 2) Move all resulting messages to a temporary folder, I'm using 2005-6 as my temporary folder name in this case. 3) Stop evolution (look in the process queue with ps auxww | grep evo" to assure all is stopped), 4) Cd to ~/.evolution/mail/local, 5) Backup all the "2005-6*" files before proceeding. 6) Delete all "2005-6.*" files except for "2005-6" itself, since Evolution will auto-recreate the rest. 7) Run sed on that file (2005-6), output to another file (2005-6.2): sed 's,Content-Type: text/plain,Content-Type: text/html,g' \ <2005-6 >2005-6.2 8) Move 2005-6.2 to 2005-6 9) Restart evolution. 10) In Evolution, open the temporary folder (may take awhile to reindex), 11) Selected all messages, 12) Moved those messages back to the inbox, 13) Deleted the temp folder. You might want to assure that the "Content Type" is the problem before running the "sed", and assure that the file looks good (has the content type changed) after running the "sed". These can both be done with: grep Content-Type 2005.6 Chris On Jan 22, 2008 12:36 PM, Russ Fineman <russbucket@nwi.net> wrote:

Hi Russ,
This sounds very odd. I've never received an e-mail that KMail/Kontact was unable to open or display. I've received *attachments* in proprietary formats that are problematical, though. What does the source look like? i.e. View --> View Source?
regards,

Looks like html but changing setting to allow html still does not display html, displays source. as document. when I do save as the filter is *.mbox and the check box automatically select file name extension (.mbox) is checked.
Kmail used to display a waring and ask if I wanted to open an html document. I do not get this with this document.
Thanks for responding and let me know if there is anything else I can check or provide.
