It really was a classic moment I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

I agree with marc that mimelib does not belong in kdelibs. But there 
is a clear and consistent need for kde-pim and knode/kmail to share a 
library. We either need to put all these applications in the same 
package or make a new library package that kde-pim and kdenetwork 
depend on.

I actually tend to think moving KMail and KNode into a package with 
kde-pim makes the best sense. Pity we don't have a better name than 
kde-pim, kde-groupware might be better.
