hi...

yes... btw, i've noticed that KMail's code is rather ..... extensive. i'm 
attempting to nibble on this problem so as not to choke on it whole =)
i just added some code now to make it check the chosen ident and use that 
transport mechanism, and it almost works ;-)

i like this idea very much.. a bit more work, but it sounds like the correct 
way.

urg.. didn't notice that... i've changed kio_smtp to watch for a headers item 
in the URL query, which turns off all header generation in kio_smtp when it 
is set to 0... seems to fix it nicely without breaking it for other apps that 
want to use it as any easy mailer facility.
