Kmail only allows to forward "as an attachment" the original e-mail but many people do not know what to do with an e-mail attached and also, this breaks the inline (in-situ, over the original e-mail) corrections or annotations. Besides, many people are scared about attachments (under "windows minds" an attachment is a synonym of problems/viruses/scam/phishing) and they just prefer to not openning the attachment so, in the event the forwarded e-mail contains important information, they just completely miss it and e- mail becomes useless (then you have to place a call and tell the recipient user the e-mail was coming from you and contains important information he has to read...).

But "real" choice is about having the ability to select what do you want to use every time without the needing to renounce a program (Kmail) at all just because is not able to properly handle html. > You can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the > people all of the time, but you cannot please all of the people all of > the time. :-) You can please all the people all the time by allowing the user to be able to be free of using the best e-mail format for every situation. And so it does Thunderbird/Icedove but not Kmail :-( Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
