So, we'll do this:
  - Check if To: field contains a valid (RFC-based regexp) email address
      - if not, try to detect it via user-defined substitutions a la
        "user<at>host" to "user@host"
         - if any of this matches, ask user if he/she want KMail to do
           the substitution
         - if no any of regexps matches, warn the user
