I think Mozilla style addressing is worth investigation and I'd be 
willing to review a patch for that and if it seems like an 
improvement advocate it being submitted to cvs.
 
The other criticisms have merit, but I lack the time to comment on 
them.

I don't subscribe to kde-usability. I do subscribe to kmail@kde.org, 
and are willing to discuss things there, otherwise I will need to be 
cc'd in order to read any discussion on this list.
