kdepim-runtime patch to use IMAP standard reply flag

Hi, I've got into this problem too.
As said in previous comments, KMail uses $REPLIED own IMAP flag instead of
\Answered standard flag. Well, the problem is actually in kdepim-runtime
package.
kdepim-runtime only sets $REPLIED IMAP flag when replying a message but can
recognize both flags as a kind of "synonyms". So, it can recognize as replied
messages that have been replied from other mail clients but these other mail
clients can't recognize as replied messages that have been replied from
kdepim-runtime.
I attach a patch that modifies kdepim-runtime to set \Answered IMAP flag
instead of $REPLIED when you reply a message. Since kdepim-runtime can
recognize both flags, there shouldn't be any side effect and I was using this
patch for weeks without noticing any problem. But if you find any problem with
it, please report.
