I think it defaults to "Plain Text". You have to explicitly tell it to turn HTML rendering on if you want to read HTML mail. Even then there would be a warning about bad things that can happen if you turn HTML mail on. That's the way a sane e-mail client to behave, I think. It will not send HTML formatted mail. If you get HTML mail in Kmail and display it as plain text, you'll get to see all the horrible tags.
