In spirit of the continued fusion with kmail we should consider to base 
this article viewer and the message viewer (KMReaderWin) on the same 
super class. This would most likely require to start using a common 
message class which should be based on kmime.

So there are basically three tasks:
- - switch KMMessage and friends from mimelib to KMime (KMail developers)
- - move all code which can be shared by both apps from KMReaderWin into 
KReaderWidget (any volunteers?)
- - make use of KReaderWidget in knode (Christian)

The problem is that the third task can't be started before at least the 
second task has been completed. The first task is not crucial for the 
other two tasks.

See above and below. ;-)

Regarding off-line support it would make sense to have a look at the 
IMAP off-line support in KMail (in kroupware_branch). It should be 
possible to share some code.
