There is no reason why you still cannot have the option to have a "preview" 
pane below the message list.  The tabs would then just replace any secondary 
windows that would be created.  Personally I don't like the preview pane 
because it is too cramped and I don't want messages automatically opened as I 
am not always interested in reading them.  I am positive that tabbed browsing 
could fit all styles of email reading.  We have proved that tabs are 
exceptionally useful in browsers, so it is only natural to extend that to 
email clients.

I also posted this to the kmail-devel list, but I was afraid that list was 
just for bugs...if you want to reply, perhaps it would be better to refer to 
the message on that list...I didn't mean to cross post.
