I wonder if khtml can handle xml+stylesheet instead of html.

If it could then ideally I would like to see kmreaderwin create an xml 
representation of a mail and pass that to khtml along with a style 
sheet.

Different style sheets would be used for different header display 
styles, including using arbitrary fonts, arbitrary colors, arbitrary 
inclusion/exclusion of headers and arbitrary ordering of header 
information display and possibly different attachment styles.

KMail could come with a few standard style sheets in a directory and 
when the current fashion for displaying mail changes one could just 
modify/create a new style sheet rather than having to modify 
kmreaderwin.cpp and rebuild.
