[kdepim-users] Trying to improve the new email notifications

Hello everyone

I think the "new email" notification is too simple so I'm trying to make it better suit my needs. What I want is quite simple: if there's just a few new emails (say less than 5) make the notification show the subject and a small part of the body.

I've played a little bit with notify-send (from libnotify) in skype setting things like:

notify-send "A contact came online" "%sname is now online" -i skype

Notice the "%sname" which shows me that the skype notifications system is storing the contact's name in the %sname variable. Now: does something like that exists in kde/kmail/kontact's notification system?

having something like %subject or %body would make my job much easier than getting to query akonady for the information (besides, it'd be repeting a recently done job ;-) )

Does anybody have any information in this subject? should I ask in the devel list?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide me!
