Hi,

Yes I am reviewing it now. I have some initial remarks but it will 
take me a few days to properly review the patch.

In kmcomposewin.cpp I think the
#include <kcoloractions.h>
is unnecessary, and undesirable as this seems to be a koffice include 
file.

I think the kmcomposerui.rc file needs to have the kpartgui version 
number incremented, I didn't see the html toolbar until I did this.

I guess that's ok for now. Other core developers might have opinions 
on that.

I'm having trouble reproducing this behavior. The spellchecking is 
reverting the text when I click cancel as I would expect. 

Maybe I'm missing something. The non as-you-type spell checker is 
working well here :)

For some reason I'm not getting an editor menu appearing even though I 
can see it in the kmcomposerui.rc file. I feel a checkable "html" 
menu item in the options menu would be better style.

Verified. Works well.

I will have a look into this problem myself.

I can't reproduce this either. Can you make a small screenshot?

I'll need some more time before I can give a useful reply to this.
