Why not indeed. Except that I am about to go to sleep and I don't maintain
any of our websites. Who maintains multimedia.blah ?

Hey, I converted one of my classes to noatun. Now you write the noatun
plugin for this one. In fact, you don't need a plugin if you're using
KIO properly. It should just work. That's the whole idea of KIO.

Why would it need to copy to disk first ?

Can't do much about that.

Well, it could be done, but I don't think it's the appropriate way. Or is this
how kioslave filter stuff is supposed to work ? I don't know, this is my first
foray into kio.

I'm now very drunk, so no. Oh, the real reason is that I don't have a permanent
internet connection, so it's useless to me. Well, I might do it tomorrow,
depending on whether I want to play with more IMAP code in Empath or I am just
being lazy.
