Sounds sensible.

The addresses without a domain part are removed by the mimelib 
functions because they are no valid addresses according to RFC 822. 
Oddly enough, a list of only local addresses (for example 'devendra, 
foo') isn't deleted.

As a workaround to this drawback of mimelib KMail should scan the 
address fields (To, Cc, Bcc) for local addresses, i.e. addresses 
without domain part, and add '@localhost' to them, so that these local 
addresses aren't removed by mimelib.
