I'm afraid yes, as that setting has been unchecked since day 1. There are times I actually need to send HTML emails. To do that, I need to press the "Rich Text" button when creating the email (in the compose email window). That setting is then remembered the next time I send a new message or want to reply to an email. Usually I do remember to switch it off, but not always, as is evident when I accidentally send an HTML email. I need an option in KMail where the "Rich Text" button is off by default and requires enabling specifically. -- Joost
