Yikes, I found both Thunderbird and Evolution excruciatingly
bloated and over-complicated, so I'd better stay well away from
"Kmail". Those do both attempt accurate HTML rendering though,
unlike clients I prefer such as Sylpheed and Alpine that roughly
(but often very servicably) render HTML as plain text. That
contributes a fair bit to their complexity, but hardly excuses how
unfriendly they can be to configure, or to fix when they break.

 I used Thunderbird for a long time, and it was fine.  I moved to Claws
Mail when Thunderbird stuffed up their PGP support.  I used to use
Enigmail, but Thunderbird incorporated it into their product, and did
it in a way where it would not use your keyring, you had to import
your keys into Thunderbird.  That was the end of that for me.

They did not incorporate Enigmail, that would have been wonderful. Instead they did their own limited implementation.
