This is what part of Chases's email looks like in GMail:

<DEFANGED_div class="Ih2E3d">&gt;&gt; Anyway, satellite Internet
connectivity is available anywhere satellite<br>&gt;&gt; TV is.
&nbsp;Not cheap, at about $62 a month, it is now about 1.5Mbps

and Ineternet<br>&gt; service is typically
$500/month.<br><br></p><DEFANGED_div>

I wouldn't call KMail ported.

I use GMail on the Firefox operating system.  I've been known to
occasionally switch to Evolution under Linux.  At work, I use
Thunderbird (Though my work email address isn't subscribed to this
list.).
