As a reference, two of the threads on kmail-devel and kde-pim
http://lists.kde.org/?t=118767653400001&r=1&w=2
http://lists.kde.org/?t=118767635200002&r=1&w=2

Basically a misconception based on the way applications aggregate 
functionality on uncooperative platforms such as Windows, i.e. by putting all 
in the same application.

Obviously KDE applications, on any platform, can do better, i.e. using our 
framework's cooperation infrastructures and shared libraries.

So the idea/suggestion can be rephrased as "thing about using communication 
infrastructure", which I am pretty sure the KOffice developers are already 
thinking about for future releases, e.g. collaborative editing.

Topics such as this show how more advanced the KDE framework is. While other 
office projects have to basically swallow communication tools (probably a 
full blown PIM suite), KOffice has the option of just interfacing with the 
respective domain specialists' work.

Cheers,
Kevin
