Even if I'm not directly in charge with the file, I can note that currently, 
the italian .po file for kmail has 3 fuzzy and one untranslated message. So 
go ahead, one more message won't change the situation. 
Besides, there is still plenty of time until next release. The irritating 
additions are those done at the last minute...
