I think that is a bug. I vaguely remember discussing it before. Probably with 
a dev but i am not really sure. I think if kmail was showing the mail in html 
format, it should retain that format when replying or forwarding. I remember 
outlook used to have a setting where you could set it to use the original 
mails formatting etc. Things like the background image (The "paper" template 
on which the original mail was written)
