First, my apologies if the original message got to the list 3 times. Gmail is showing it 3 times because it took me a while to remember to kill html in gmail. I'm getting ready to go on vacation where data will be limited so I don't want to use gmail. I am trying kmail (forwarding gmail IMAP) to see if it will work while I'm gone. I was reading mail in kmail and was looking for a simple way to display it in html since I had a mail from a reliable source that has pictures attached. In the process I right clicked the email hoping to find a menu item (on the context menu) that would display the email in html so I could see the pictures attached. I clicked "edit" (on the context menu -- out of curiosity to see what it would "edit") and kmail blew up (i.e. terminated itself, Kontact, Konversation, etc.) and now none of them will start when I click their icons. I just get the notification that it closed unexpectedly and to file a bug report (but that itself fails to install the packages required to produce useful information). There is obviously something set somewhere that tells Kontact/Kmail not to start. I would like to delete that and see what happens. I was running 20171026 at the time. I updated to 20171027 this a.m. but the problem persists. I have searched my home directory for any file that might have the information to prevent Kontact from starting but to no avail so far. Hope this is a better description of my angst.

hello,

I guess you are new to linux, no problem, but your text is not very understandable, let's try

* "I right clicked on an email" to right clic on an email, you have to use some software. I guess you use a webmail with Firefox, right? or try to email a photo or a text from the image or text processor?

* did you look on an other desktop to see if your program (kmail, kontact) is not waiting there? How do you try to start it?

Thanks for the info Patrick. Actually, I got it started quite by accident. I went to: /home/chuck/.local/share/kmail2/autosave/. I found about 20 copies of the subject email. I deleted them all and then Kontact (and all related apps) decided to run. I'm a happy camper again. Keeping your suggestion for future possible "events".....

Rather than battle with KMail, why not use Thunderbird. I'd also not that you don't need HTML to view attachments. Just save them (I save them in /tmp when I need to) and use one of the many image viewers.

Thank you everyone for your interest in my problem. I'm back on line with KMail for the present. On Sun, Oct 29, 2017 at 1:17 PM, ianseeks wrote:

There should be clickable links (with warnings) in the email itself to allow you to display the HTML content
