   Hmmm.  I think the kmail notification code is really dysfunctional.  While 
it's very nice that network operations are unobtrusive, it's really important 
to be able to monitor the progress of each transmission, especially for users 
on unreliable links (like wireless).

    That's what I am getting at.  I'm asking if anyone is interested in doing 
this on the GUI side.  If anyone will do it.  I can help on the backend.

   The second point is very easy though, I think.  Disabling the statusbar 
updates should simply be disconnecting signal/slots.
