libkmime should stay what it is (although not necessary in the current 
form): A library for handling MIME objects, i.e. for parsing the text 
representation of a MIME object into a class tree and for generating a 
text representation from a MIME class tree. High-level stuff like 
KMail's KMMessage class and its relatives and in particular anything 
that involves a GUI should be put somewhere else.

Having said this, I think at least part of email.h's functionality does 
belong into libkmime.
