=46WIW, KMail does not seem to be at fault here. If you select one of the=20
combo boxes (e.g. Identity) in the composer then Alt works. But neither=20
in the line edits nor in the editor widget it works.

Now for the editor widget our only fault is that we still use the KEdit=20
class. KJots also uses KEdit and has exactly the same problem with Alt.=20
So it's most likely KEdit who eats the Alt key.

As for the line edit I have not yet found the guilty widget, but it does=20
not seem to be our derivatives. Maybe it's KPIM::AddresseeLineEdit. Or=20
maybe it's even KLineEdit. If you give focus to the Location line edit=20
in Konqueror then Alt does not work. If you give focus to any line edit=20
in KAddressBook then Alt does not work. So much for Alt working in all=20
apps except for KMail.

The fact that Alt does not seem to work at all in composer is just due=20
to the usage of two broken classes from kdelibs. If it annoys you then=20
please fix those classes.

Regards,
Ingo (glad that at least once it's not KMail's fault)
