Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2005-08-02 13:32:50 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)

Educate users about threads. So if the user replies to a thread but removes all quotations and makes up a new subject query him if he really wants to reply to other email or start a new conversation on its own. Tell him that thread hijacking is killing a nice feature of emailing. Also offer a link to some information what threads are anyway. Pressing the "Start new conversation" removes all references, in-reply-to etc. and sends the email as if it is a new one.

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.
