            Bug ID: 505896
           Summary: kmails adds newline to each line when replying to html
                    message, resulting in huge wasted space
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
      Version First 6.3.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
When replying to an html message, kmail mangle the previous formatted responses
by adding the '>' characters on each line (it would be great to have an option
to do not touch that for html threads, but that's for another bug report).
Now, if you answer to an html email, and each time you answer to the mail
thread, kmail add a newline for each line in the previous mail, multiplying
it's line by two each time.
You can imagine how big (and how many wasted space) the mail become after only
a few back and forth.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Answer to an html mail, using the rich text format
2. Continue answering into the same thread

OBSERVED RESULT
Each time kmail adds a newline to each line of the mail

EXPECTED RESULT
Do not add the extra lines, just use the content of the previous emails as is

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.12.30-amd64
KDE Plasma Version: 4:6.3.5-1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug is not new, and is at least 10+ years old.
