------------
New Bugs:
------------

For a while there was some icon weirdness, and the toolbar in the composer 
window wasn't appearing. This has been fixed, but to get my toolbar back I 
had to edit my kmailrc file, and change the [Composer] section by specifying 
show-toolbar=true

Status bars are weird sizes. Looks like the status bars are being sized to 
fit the text/widgets they contain rather than being a consistent size.

I just noticed that when replying to mail 's are getting changed into ´s.

Fixed Bugs:
------------

> Certain folders are compacting when it is not necessary (see below)

Ok, I committed a patch for this, but I'm definitely considering reverting it 
after Stefan explained the situation.

> KMMsgBase skipkeyword algorithm is screwed just skips stuff in front of
> ':'. Should skip ( "Fwd: ", "Re: ", "FWD: ", "RE: " )+

So it turns out that my plan to improve this was flawed, and in fact I can 
think of no way to improve on Stefan original algorithm.

Outstanding bugs

> Spell checking, afterwards document is readonly!

Going to talk to Waldo about this I think (once he gets back).

> Send mail dialog shows overlapping text sometimes.

I kind of know why this is happening


> Various html widget bugs

I've sent some mails to Lars about this. Thankfully he's the kind of person 
who didn't take offense or ignore me and instead fixed a lot of the problems 
promptly.

>  Custom fonts don't work.
Fixed!

>  Custom font sizes don't work.
Fixed!

>  Custom link/followed link colors don't work.
Not quite fixed, but getting close.

>  Selection is broken.
Not quite fixed, but getting close. I actually have this working here but 
there is a conflict with setting the background color and the highlighted 
text being highlighted.

>  Images don't work(new)
I mean remote images in html specified using img tags don't work, actually I 
kind of like it this way.

>  Is flickering when rendering a new page (new)
Am I imagining this? Has anyone else noticed the html widget flickering when 
the current mail is changed? I mean has it recently got workse?

Lars is working on this stuff which is great. Hopefully it's all going to 
work out ok.

BFN,
