           Summary: composer: provide "force send" on errors in the mail
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)

Composer before putting mail into queue validates the mail -- if something is not correct composer refuses to process such mail. And user cannot do anything about this.

There should be option to force sending. Reasons:
a) KMail as any software in the world can contain (and does contain) bugs -- also in validating functions
b) KMail is not a mail server, so the last word should belong to mail server not KMail -- in other words any mail client should not try to be smarter than server
c) user can see some reason/have some additional purposes, to send such mail
d) validating mail should be a help not a limit what user can/cannot do
