This would prevent crashes but lead to hard to track bugs, i.e. changes 
to the (dead) KMMsgInfo object would be lost because this object was 
already replaced by a KMMessage object. It's much easier to find the 
remaining problems when a crash occurs.

As Till already wrote we will clean up this mess for KDE 4.
