M155: KMail revamped

I'm not convinced that trying to show a reading time is that useful.  Estimating this will need to take so much into account - it seems easy to divide the length of the message by the user's personal reading speed, but getting an accurate estimate will also depend on the amount of original (non-quoted and non-signature) text, the variation in reading speed between individual messages (junk can be dismissed with just a glance, a party invite may just be skimmed for a date/time, while a technical discussion will have to be read in detail, etc) that an estimate algorithm would need to be trained on a great number of messages before getting anywhere near a realistic result.  If the time shown bears no relation to reality then the user will learn to ignore it and there is no point in showing it.
