Wait. This is yet another issue, among selecting default values and what to 
have in our modules, which really has to do with agreeing on what KDE's 
userbase will look like and where KDE is heading. Agreeing on who KDE targets 
and what it aims to become.
For example, we could just end this discussion with reminding people that in 
the near future, as in "2004", KDE as the rest of open source will have its 
userbase multiplied, most likely doubling the current amount, and those new 
users will come from developing countries where no previous computer 
experience exist and any consistency with non-kde apps is thus moot, because 
there is nothing else than KDE. Thus, sticking to guidelines should be 
chosen.

(I don't know the specific reasons to why KMail doesn't follow guidelines - 
why it is an exception)
