I follow this Kopete discussion closely although I never used it. An 
obvious solution would be a prominent widget (toolbar icons, combo box, 
whatever) to switch between the multiline widget and CTRL+ENTER to send 
and a single line widget and ENTER to send.

I also think that Kopete, KMail and all other apps that are usable only 
after the user has entered a lot of information (Mail address, account 
information, etc.) need a first-time wizard.
