Back then nobody really bothered to create a common interface for the 
two editors because the aim was to replace the old one with the new one 
and not to provide two alternative versions. In the end, we still left 
the old version in KMail because a very small group of people 
complained about the new one. This was merely a hack and I'm glad we 
are now finally getting rid of it thanks to Thomas.
