I hope KMail bails out with an informative message if one tries this or, 
alternatively, prevents the user from trying to do this in the first 
place. But since there might be a way to trick KMail into doing it 
nevertheless we should bail out in any case.

KDE 3.5 is basically released (Coolo has tagged the RC2).

Depends. Fixing non-trivial bugs in KDE 3.5 (for KDE 3.5.1) is okay. But 
anything which requires larger changes should be restricted to KDE 4.
