Hi,

I realy wish to have kvim as my editor in kmail. As far as I know
it's planed vor 3.2 to have the choice to select the "Embedded Vim
Component" inside kmail as your editor. But as I see ther's a little
patch at http://freenux.org/kde/patchs/kmail-ktexteditor-3.1.diff which
applyes this feature to kmail 3.1.

I would realy like to see it in the next Debian Package ... ;-)

Thank you in advance,
   Markus Hubig

AFAIK embedding kvim into kmail completed in 3.2.
I'm running "sarge" where kde version is 3.3 but still I'm not able to see an
option where I could set my editor to use "Embedded KVIM Editor".

rrs

  please have a look at :

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59481

  kde is a big piece of software, and I don't think we wan't to apply
external patches that we are not sure beeing able (for time reasons) to
maintain.  The patch suggested here is quite intrusive, and will need
quite a lot of time to maintain across releases.

  Moreover, since the bug is already assigned to Kmail TEAM, we are not
sure at all (see bug report) that they will adopt that solution, and
theirs may raise difficulties in config migration (e.g.).

  I don't really know what the other guys from the QT/KDE Team think,
but for my part, I don't think applying the patch is a good idea.  If
you really want the feature (and if you want to know I really do too),
then try to ask it to KDE upstream again.
