+	  <p>messagelib is the library used by KMail to display emails.</p>
+	  <p>messagelib by default displays emails as plain text, but gives the user
+	    an option to "Prefer HTML to plain text" in the settings and if that option
+	  is not enabled there is way to enable HTML display when an email contains HTML.</p>
+	  <p>Some HTML emails can trick messagelib into opening a new browser window when
+	    displaying said email as HTML.</p>
+	  <p>This happens even if the option to allow the HTML emails to access
+	    remote servers is disabled in KMail settings.</p>
+	  <p>This means that the owners of the servers referred in the email can see
+	    in their access logs your IP address.</p>
