Hello!

^ First problem. The template patch changes the default behavior of kmail, by inserting
some Hello! or Hello <name> at the top of the reply. I think the template functionality is
great but it shouldn't change the default behavior IMHO.

Yes - I assumed that this was what this functionality was about, I'm a bit disappointed
that it's not, yes. I want a standard reply for people who ask for a svn account without
providing the necessary information, but the normal reply to any mail on any mailing-list
shouldn't change of course.

The QToolBox (which is a bit of a strange widget choice imho ;)
could become a simple QComboBox on top of the textedit, and 
then there can be add/delete pushbuttons.

the layout of the config dialog ;)
