Hi All,
After some recent KDE updates I noticed that Kmail-5.7.3 no longer shows the
message components at the bottom of the preview pane. As a result I can't see
the components of multipart messages or select to view HTML content on a per
message basis, should I want/need to do so.
Have you noticed the same? Any idea how I could restore this feature?

you need to press ctrl+alt+D now to activate it. No menu entry anymore, see:
see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387931

Thank you Manuel. Unfortunately ctrl+alt+D on an Enlightenment desktop does
something entirely different (minimises all windows).
I used Settings/Configure Toolbars and added "Show Message Structure" to the
main menu for now.
On a Plasma desktop it works as advertised, so other users on Plasma who may
need this feature could use it accordingly.
Annoyingly, the 'View Source' submenu option was also removed ... arrrgh!
However, pressing 'v' on a preview pane acts as a short cut for this function.
Thanks again for your help with this.

Yeah, 'View Source' is the other menu-entry I miss since some versions.

No problem

Any idea why the Kmail team are making such seemingly bad decisions lately?

I'm not sure what you mean. I use KMail 5.7.3, too, and still have a "view
source" menu entry under "Message", or whatever it's called in English locales
(in German it's "Nachricht" -> "Nachrichtencode ansehen").

FWIW, for just this particular task you can add the "Toggle HTML Display Mode"
toolbar button (in German it's "HTML Anzeigemodus Umschalten"). I also found
a similar feature at https://userbase.kde.org/Kmail/Using_Kmail_General
(search for "HTML").

I think they're talking about the popup/context menu when you right-click in
the message preview pane.

Yes, this will deal with toggling the display of the HTML part of a message,
but it will not offer many other options available through the 'Message
Structure' pane, like 'Save As', 'Open With', 'Copy', etc.
I used HTML as an example of a message component. Personally, I use the 'Show
Message Structure' to inspect/troubleshoot the envelop structure of multipart
messages, save parts separately, etc. I also use 'View Source' to check
message headers. So, when these two functions suddenly disappeared I started
looking for them. I wasn't aware that they had gone due to conscious
decisions taken by the devs.

Ah! Yeah, now I remember, it did indeed disappear at some point :( .

Yes, exactly. When 'View Source' disappeared from the context menu of the
preview pane, I went fishing for it in the main menu. There I discovered 'v'
being the keybinding for 'View Source' and have been using it since. However,
I often have to move the mouse onto the main window or preview pane, so right-
clicking to view the source of a message always felt like a more natural
approach.

Agreed. Somebody who's on the KMail Dev mailing list want to forward this
