No, also at least marking them as it's done konqueror might be a good idea.

No, I don't think undo works for anything in this patch.

IMHO it will become really useful once it's possible to copy messages to the 
real clipboard and thus to diffrent applications. That will be easy with 
Akonadi...
But if you really don't want to have it in the "normal" KMail, it's quite easy 
to remove without affecting the other ways of copying/moving 
messages/folders.
