I've choosen to use qtwebkit to view messages, as most html mails are broken and \
webkit seems to deal better with it. I'm not prepared to switch back. I do think it \
adds value to do it in kdepimlibs.
libkdepim is evil and nothing should be added there imho.
Also I split the view of the headers from the message body for security reasons. I \
don't want to give the body any chance to manipulate the header view. So unless \
that's too in this lib that's another reason for Mailody to not use it.

Yes. Put it in as GPL. That way evil companies can not incorporate the code in closed \
source applications. So I'm all for GPL libs.

+1. I think it gives the oppertunity for more mail specialised mail clients, which \
would be a positive development.
Best.
