Sure, I do not care about them, but I do not want them removed. I just
do not care either way.

Then you have not understood my proposal: I don't want to clutter the
menu at all. Tell me, how many HTML converters do you currently have
on your machine? If the answer is 0 or 1, you would get exactly the
same entries as you already have: 0 or 1. Only if the user has more
than one HTML converter, then they would get more than one entry. My
understanding is that this is important for them (as it was for me).

Again you have misunderstood me: I don't care about CJKLyX and they
don't bother me. Same for RTF. In fact as I said I don't have an issue
with clutter -- it's nice to know what you can preview or export to.

I am not the only one requesting the feature, so it's rather "make it
work for me and for everyone else who is requesting it, while not
annoying the rest of the world". Your proposal meanwhile is "do the
dirty work I won't bother to do". Not sounding good so far, Jürgen ;)
