Description Sander Devrieze 2004-09-03 13:12:55 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

It would be great to have more integration of Kopete in KMail and vice versa. This wish is about XMPP (Jabber) and especially about section 2.1.1 in http://xmpp.org/specs/draft-ietf-xmpp-im-22.html :

"* normal -- The message is a single message that is sent outside the context of a one-to-one conversation or groupchat, and to which it is expected that the recipient will reply. A compliant client SHOULD present the message in an interface enabling the recipient to reply, but without a conversation history."

So the first part of my wish is that you can send such messages with KMail. This functionality should only become available in KMail (menu, buttons,...) when there is an online Jabber account detected in Kopete.

The second part is that when Kopete receives such kind of message, that it should allow you to open it in a default KMail window to reply to it and that KMail should store that message in a folder.

Thirdly, there should be an option to send such messages in Kopete that opens a default New email window of KMail.

To understand my wish better you can take a look at The Coccinella, which has the same things implemented that I am requesting for KDE:

(Describing text about these images can be found at: http://hem.fyristorg.com/matben/examples/index.html )

Advantages:
* Usability: you can send and reply to normal messages with the same ease as sending and replying to emails.
* It can be an answer to the problematic licence of Sender ID: XMPP isn't only designed for IM and it has good protection against spim ( http://www.jabber.org/wiki/index.php/spim ).
* It can be possible to integrate other Jabber related features in KMail.
* It can result in an innovative new email concept.

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.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
