A long time ago Zack has started to work on replacing the editor by a 
flexible interface which would have allowed using different editors. 
Unfortunately, this was never finished. You might want to have a look 
at kdepim/libkdepim/komposer in SVN.

Currently, the editor widget is more or less tightly coupled to the 
composer window. It will surely not be an easy task to replace it. 
OTOH, I don't think there are high technical hurdles. But, of course, 
one never knows for sure before one tries. For KDE 4 we should 
definitely replace the current editor by an editor part, so that the 
user can easily use the Quanta part if he wants a full-fledged HTML 
editor.

Ingo
