Subject: Html Mail

This is really for lypanov but I cc the list and bug 4202 subscribers 
just in case they are interested.

Here is what I have for html mail composing so far. It's a patch that 
updates the composer with html support. It adds a new toolbar to the 
composer along with actions to change the font face, font size, 
alignment, and emphasis style of the text, and support for creating a 
variety of lists. Sorry no support for colors at the moment, that 
clashes with color quoting and spell checking.

TODO:
Need to consider if there are standard KDE icons for the toolbar icons 
or whether there should be.

HTML mail might break spell checking, along with other things that 
call setText, need todo work to prevent setText from losing style 
information, or avoid calls to setText.

Need support for editing html mail in drafts folder.

Replying to html mail should be improved.

Support for inline images requires more work, including improvements 
to/on-top-of QTextEdit, and probably support for multipart/related 
(I'm also working on that but I think support for inline images is 
optional).

Creating the multipart alternative/related message that is actually 
going to be sent.

Adding an option to the composer.

Adding an option to the configuration dialog.

Please ignore the xxx's in the source code, I just use them as 
bookmarks.

Don.
