In what way is HTML mail "evil"? That's the attitude the KMail developers take. HTML mail is very useful. 

I'll just have to use Thunderbird or Evolution instead.. but it's not a very nice resolution to the problem is it? I'll have to dispense with a nice, integrated mail client and use something else just because of someone's prejudice against technology. I mean, come on, grow up.
