I've made some progress on this and created a helper class to format the
list using an event filter. I still have a lot of optimization to do and
more events and cases to cover, but I think I can do everything I want now
with it.

Just thought I'd let you know, so need to spend time on a thorough look into
the last patch. My work-in-progress is attached. It applies against kjots,
but I can apply something similat to KMEditor when it's done.

I had a deeper look into the qt rich text classes too, but I haven't yet
tracked down how the link formatting/unformatting could work.

Sure. I'd actually like to see a KRichTextEdit and KPart in kdelibs that all
could use. It might just mean moving most of KMEditor into it. As far as I
can see most of it is not specific to PIM/email and could be shared by many
applications. KMEditor could then just be a subclass of it?

Best regards,


Steve.
