Hi Marc,

I wanted to add a generic solution for this for almost a year now and still 
haven't done so. (I suck). In README.kiosk it is listed as 
authorizeURLAction(QString action, KURL referringURL, KURL destinationURL)

The idea is that various URL operations can check this for permissions so that 
you have all URL handling policies in one central place. We would need to 
define a set of defined actions such as "browse", "open", "redirect"

In this case you would call it then with something like:
if (kapp->authorizeURLAction("open", KURL("mail:"), url))
  do_highlight

It sucks a little because mail messages don't have a real URL of their own, so 
we will have to use something like "mail:" instead, but you get the idea I 
hope.

Cheers,
Waldo
