Thanks Sam for stepping up. Sorry it did not work out for you.  I'm glad you told us and not dissapeared silently ;-)

Back to the subject: I'm happy to remove this functionality, I just don't feel like writing a conversion script (ad-hoc transports->normal transports) for KMail while Mailody is the bad shape it is. 
So if no-one steps up to do the work, we should leave it in as it is now (without history). 

On a cynical note: it's a shame that we don't have enough manpower even to remove features ;-)

best,

Toma
