Odd, when I do that, I have to hit a key, as in change something
 in the composer window before the kwrite window opens.  At that
point it opens quite rapidly, half a second or so and I am now typing
into kwrite.  But I do need to set a larger default font, its quite
small as it appears on this 1600x1200 screen.   Yes, 14 point arial
is much better.

Now lets see if it copies back to composer & sends ok.
