I don't know what to think.

My first instinct was emailfunctions lib.  But Volker reminded me
that we wanted to merge those functions into kmime and 
eliminate the emailfunctions lib.

Then Volker reminded me that what we really want is a message reader
kpart that can be shared between KMail, KNode, Mailody, etc.  And
the linklocator would go there.

And we don't want to recreate another libkdepim with a bunch of misc stuff.

Currently we have emailfunctions and kimap which contain only
a few static methods.  no classes.  And I don't think yet-another
such lib called "kbodyformatter" would be such a great idea.

And we know that there are a bunch of utility static methods that
would be useful to have in kdepimlibs.

So....  Ideas?

It seems that a kpimutils lib where we put all these static utility methods
may be a necessity that we can't avoid.

Thoughts?
