Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2008-06-02 18:49:04 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Several times I got requests why I "sieze" someone (addressed someone formally) in the reply header, while we are at an informal level: "Am Sonntag schrieben Sie:"

It would be great if there was an entry with the addresses of the relationship status, so e.g. in german it would be "Am Sonntag schriebst Du:" for good fellows and "Am Sonntag schrieben Sie:" for the rest in the resulting standard reply. And this automatically, without the user needing to select a dedicated template, but just pressing "Reply".

No idea how to implement this best, though. This entry is more of a use case. :)

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Rereading this request I remember that in some cultures like Japanese there is even more emphasize on the language reflecting the social relationships.
Cmp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honorific_speech_in_Japanese

So it would be cool if contacts could be tagged with a social relationship status and the composer would _automatically_ select the proper template text based on the relationship level.

Once the concept of contact subidentities/roles (like business, private) is implemented in KDEPIM, the relationship tag would be ideally on the role, so an email to the private identity of a contact would use the correspoding template and an email to the business identity another.
