Because it is far from trivial to implement with the currently used 
editor and because all of our resources were spent on making sure that 
KMail is available in KDE 4.1 at all.

I don't know whether there are concrete plans (as in "John Doe intends 
to implement it for KDE 4.2"). Maybe ask again at the kde-pim mailing 
list.

... and it is far ahead in some other regards.

I suggest to avoid such "This other app can do it, so why can't you?" 
statements. They are the weakest argument you can give when you request 
a feature. And to be honest, I, as former maintainer of KMail, always 
feel a bit insulted by such statements. I guess you did not intend to 
bash KMail, but as far as I'm concerned you did. Maybe I'm too 
sensitive. Anyway, no hard feelings.

Come over to the kde-pim mailing list. Your help will be appreciated.
