What about this then? I've changed "MIME compliant (quoted printable)"
to "Allow 8-bit". I've never got to grips with MIME so I don't
understand what this setting does.

I've finally found what I think was the culprit - a menu option hidden in
the composer window. "Formatting (HTML)" was enabled. Not by me, I
hasten to add. It isn't now.

Would someone please confirm whether this has had the desired effect? Many
thanks.

It works for me, because very few HTML mails I receive are worth reading,
let alone reading in HTML, and it is a lot quicker than continually
changing settings. But I agree, a per-folder setting for this would be
useful. I wonder if it could be done with folder processing, changing the
default when you enter or leave a folder, but that is both wildly
speculative and OT.

I'll see if I can reproduce the problem here. It's just that I find
KDE 4.8 to be extremely flakey and KMail even flakier, so I'll need to
do some cleaning up of my configuration just to get KMail to run.

I can only apologise to all that it took me so long to find the cause. I
have a bit of an excuse (not much of one): I couldn't see any problem so
it was hard to debug.
