           Summary: Please give an option in KMail to default the language
                    settings to the system default, with an override
                    per-identity
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: config dialog
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jmaldrich at yahoo.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I recently discovered in my KMail (KMail 1.13.7) that the language settings are
on a per-identity basis. This would not be so bad if it weren't buried in the
identity settings dialog. I would like to see a check box in the general KMail
settings to default language settings to the current system language, whatever
that may be, and then if someone wishes to override that, they can do so in the
identity settings. Alternatively, just have KMail default to the system
settings and let the user override that on a per-identity basis.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a new identity and see what language is selected by default when setting
up a new identity/email address.

Actual Results:  
Varies -- sometimes it picks up UK English, other times Australian English

Expected Results:  
Should, in my case, ALWAYS be US English

I have verified in the KDEPIM-users group that the current incarnation of KMail
(KMail 1.14+) still has the language selection on a per-identity basis only.
It's not that it's so much trouble to change it, even if like me you have more
than 10 identities, it's that it took so long to find out WHERE to change it
and THEN the 10-15 seconds per identity to change it.
