At least I print messages not very often and we also have a toolbar item for 
that. The others that already are there look important enough. But if you 
absolutely want to have it in, then do it.

For example in kmheaders.cpp there are several calls like "emit selected(0)".
Then in kmmainwin.cpp there is a call:
  connect(mHeaders, SIGNAL(selected(KMMessage*)),
          this, SLOT(slotMsgSelected(KMMessage*)));

Therefore always when emit selected(...) is called in KMHeaders, 
KMMainwin::slotMsgSelected(...) is called.

Three dots mean that a dialog appears where you can make some settings and 
click Ok, before the action actually does something. An action without dots 
means, that the action immediately does something. The edit action belongs to 
the actions that immediately do something.

You can create one action and plug() it into several menues. In the same way 
as it is already done with the actions in the main menu and at least the 
action in one of the context menus.
