I'm against re-adding them to the menus. Please always remember the 
80/20 rule. The remaining 20% who might want to use one of the more 
esoteric "Mark as Foo" options can edit the file defining the menu 
layout (kmmainwinrc ?) and/or add the options to the toolbar and/or 
define some keybinding for them. The only thing that's not possible is 
adding those options to the context menus.

Ingo
