Hi all,

Hopefully potential listeners are still here.
I want to discuss internals, therefore I redirected my reply from kde-devel 
to kmail :-)

I think the ability to specify a complete email as an argument upon kmail
start is a nice idea that might come handy.

I was a bit surprised by the URL syntax:

As Philipp tried this, it is probably valid. However, it looks pretty strange
to specify a whole email in an URL.

IMO, if we support anything in kmail, we should support either this:
> > kmail p.guehring@poboxes.com <test.txt

... or specifying the message as an argument, e.g. "-template"
Or both of them ;-)

Opinions?

Kind regards,
Stefan
