I am using KMail with Kubuntu 14.04, and after my most recent system upgrade/upgrade, my HTML email display is completely broken. This is awful, because 95% of email coming in is HTML formatted.

Some messages show sporadic plain text, with no HTML formatting whatsoever and no option to show the rest of the message's content.

Other messages have a notice at the top saying "Note: This is an HTML message. For security reasons, only the raw HTML code is shown. If you trust the sender of this message then you can activate formatted HTML display for this message by clicking here."

When I click on that warning, some of the messages do then display correctly. But these are only a small percentage of my total inbox.

Because of these issues, KMail has gone from an integral part of my day to day business, to being useless. I am having to use my web provider's very inferior webmail interface, until I can find a solution to this issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions?

Thank you so much for your timely responses!

I had the same issue, after using KMail Settings "Configure KMail" and then "Security" to first disable and then reenable "prefer HTML to plain text" all worked well again.

I had also experimented with the settings for individual contacts in KAdressbok for preferred format, I had to reset those also

Wow, thank you. This too fixed my problem instantaneously.

I had gone in to verify that the security settings were set correctly, but I hadn't considered unchecking and then rechecking the box. Sometimes something that is so frustrating and seems so difficult can have the simplest solution.

Yay!
