Hi,

Sorry for my delay. Feel free to send the modified files. I suggest sending 
them to the KMail list also. Please note a couple of important points however.

1) We are currently in feature freeze and new features won't be committed 
until the feature freeze is lifted.

2) I don't understand why a lot of users would like to define their own 
message-id-header. What practical use does it serve?

BFN,
Don.
