[Kde-pim] Announcing KSmtp - A KJob-based SMTP library

[Allen Winter]

Gregory,

Are you still interested in adding this to kdepimlibs?

I'm willing to help you get this added to kdepimlibs, but we need to wait
a couple weeks for the master to open for new code.

Let us know how/if you want to proceed.
-Allen
