Hi,
I just discovered some nice instructions on how to set up an SSH
tunnel with KMail's precommand on
http://www.slac.com/~mpilone/projects/kde/kmailssh/ and added it to
KMails documentation. I have no clue, if I did this right in any way
since this was my first attempt on docbook and cvs diff. That's also
the reason why this "patch" is that small. Please let me know if you
have any use for stuff like this. Since I'm an enthusiastic KDE user I
want to "do my part" and contribute to the development. And since I
don't have time to dig into the sources right now, I at least wanted
to contribute to the documentation to make KDE even more easy to use.
Tell me if this goes to /dev/null or if you can use this and similar
"documentation patches".
thanks!

Till
