Well.., depends. You could say ISO and UFT-8 are extensions, but that would 
be streching it.

Sorry, I wasnt asking YOU to do it, just a permission to look at it. I'll see 
what I can do. I've been looking for a small project in kmail for some time, 
something where a lot of developers didnt change or fix the things I was 
looking at. It might be mostly useless, but I might get more familiar with 
the kmail code.
KDE is a maelstrom to keep track of for a wannabe developer, its easier to 
code devicedriver for the linux-kernel (last usefull project I started).
