That's really great stuff. But... (see below)

If KMail is one of the standard two places then you have probably=20
forgotten that at least until the separate KDE PIM release but very=20
likely even afterwards all KDE PIM applications will have to depend on=20
nothing from post-3.2 kdelibs.

Again: Don't even think about adding anything to KMail that requires=20
more than kdelibs from KDE_3_2_BRANCH.

But of course we could consider to add a temporary copy of=20
KListViewSearchLine to libkdepim because it's really a great new=20
feature. OTOH for KMail it should be possible to choose which=20
field/header (via a combobox) should be checked for matches. Actually=20
for KMail KMSearchRuleWidget should be used for this. So, I'm not in=20
favor of using KListViewSearchLine in KMail though the backend could=20
probably be used.

Ingo
