1) Is ktnef available as an RPM in any Fedora repository? (It's an application to read the annoying winmail.dat attachments which seem to be coming in more MS Outlook emails.)
2) I thought KMail used to have an option to read HTML mail? I don't see it now. When I get HTML mail I'm asked (usually twice) to Click Here to read it. This is fine; I just wondered if there had been a change?
3) Is there any Linux/KDE equivalent to the vcard signatures I used to get with some Outlook email? I thought they were rather nice. As far as I can see, Outlook now wraps them in a winmail.dat file which makes them doubly unreadable.

I'm using KMail 1.13.7 on KDE 4.6.3 (updated Fedora 14). For me this is in the menu
Settings -> Configure KMail -> Security -> Reading,
with two checkboxes, "Prefer HTML to plain text" and "Allow messages to load external references from the Internet".
I don't have either of them active since I prefer to decide myself which HTML messages I want to view, but I guess that those options do what they say. ;-)
HTH, :-) Marko

It can also be set on a per-folder basis, from the top menu.

Thanks very much. I didn't think of looking under Security.

Ah, well, yes, I understand you completely. :-) The notions "HTML mail" and "security&privacy" are quite naturally connected. However, most people just miss to connect them in their heads without someone turning their attention to it.
I was in the same boat, until a friend of mine told me once to think about it. ;-) After that, things got rather obvious... :-)
Best, :-) Marko

ktnef should be included in the kdepim package (or kdepim3). A quick search for the name ktnef in rpm's for FC14/FC15 points to kdepimlib-devel package, but you'd better check. However kdepim or some of its siblings is where to look for.
Kind regards,
Giuliano

The ktnef in kdepimlibs-devel is the library, not the stand-alone application. In the KDEPIM3 days, we had a stand-alone application also called 'ktnef' that sat on top of libktnef. These days, we don't have a separate application as KMail should support ktnef by itself using the TNEF plugin. should be automatically detected for application/ms-tnef attachments.
