Thanks. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to work for me. dcop picks the wrong 
function signature :(. 

$ dcop kontact MailTransportServiceIface 
sendMessage "chris.gow@gmail.com" "chris.gow@gmail.com" "" "" "subject" "body" 
\( \)
cannot handle datatype 'QByteArray'

dcop is selecting the version of sendMessage that takes an array. I tried both 
\[ \] and \( \). With and without items. Made no difference.

Is it possible to pass the parameter types in addition to the function name to 
dcop? 

eg. something like dcop kontact 
MailTransportServiceIface "sendMessage(QString, QString, QString, QString, 
QString, QString, KURL::List)" ?

I tried the above but it didn't make a difference. 

In case it matters, I can not call this function from kdcop either. kdcop says 
it can not handle KURL::List. I was/am hoping that dcop is a little more 
robust.

thanks
