Because we need to show them that we are _so amazingly good_ that we can=20
interoperate even with the crazy people who write such horrible applicati=
ons=20
which don't put a From: field in their outgoing emails.

I think there should be a wishlist bug on this, titled "make kmail work w=
ith=20
broken lotus notes", and then if someone who needs to get started on kmai=
l=20
wants to, they can fix it.  If they don't, they don't.  I certainly don't=

fixing this one.
