Hi!

It is wonderful that you protested against this behavior of Kmail.

What if you leave some votes for this bug as well?

For a long time, i have had the feeling that the maintainers of Kmail, are just
taking care of there own special needs of an email-client.  I guess Kmail is
fitting well in there environment:  It fits well with the servers they are
using, and with the usage that they have. The features of Kmail is not fitting
to general users. It seems like the maintainers have this arrogant attitude:
This is fitting well to me or us, so the software should work like this. The
rest of the world has to accept it. I am really scared, when i think about what
kind of personalities these maintainers might have.
