Ever heard of the principle of minimal complexity? Pipe through was 
basically designed with sed in mind, not a 30M+ perl script. For the 
first one, it works fine. For the second, it doesn't (although all 
threading and async KProcess won't help me with my load scenario unless 
someone for whom this is trivial adds KMFolder::append() since for me, 
it isn't.). Requirements change over time. That's why software is 
called _soft_ware.

And yes, I heard your call for a patch.
