Ah, that's a good reason not too make variables and function names
overly long.  Personally I'd just named the varible "frame" (that
actually would make the function future safe, since it really should
work for any frame, and take a frame argument instead of a pc, but
that's not your fault.)

> OK to commit?

I'll leave it up to you to change curfrm into frame as suggested
above.  So, yes.  Thanks!

IMHO KMail is trying to emulate too many bad things from Windows mailers.

Ah, well, I use emacs; it's really convenient to be able to read your
mail and edit source code from within the same application.  But
please use whatever you're comfortable with.

Yes it is.  And it seems most MTA's are 8-bit clean these days.  It's
a bit sad you don't get offered the possibility to use 7-bit ASCII :(

Sort of.  But I think it should only used for binary attachments; not
simple text messages.

Yup; it's much more readable that way.

Thnaks for putting up with me ;-).  I'm sure you get it more "right"
from the start next time.
