What, 5% maybe?  Heck, I dunno.

Yes, and that many more filters and mailboxes to maintain in kmail.  As I have 
well over a screens height of folders for kmail now (because my interests are 
best described as eclectic), I consider the consequences of adding yet 
another subscription to the mix.

Understood, no problem, and thanks. :)

Not required now that I know, but my point is 100% valid, if it effects the 
common user, as this does, then the announcement DOES belong on the users 
list.  And I see I am being agreed with by other responders.

OT:
I need to learn something of your native tongue (& I'm not even sure what it 
is), your 'sig' is a puzzle to an english only speaker.  One who is 
constantly amazed that while there are some languages other than english in 
use on the net, much of the rest of the planet has learned it in order to 
converse with the english speakers, and in fact have often learned it better 
that those of us who've been speaking it since we learned to talk.  At my 
age, and 'formal' education level (8th grade, 1940's style, self educated 
beyond that), I don't ever expect to become fluent in another language, and 
I'm grateful that the rest of the planet thinks its worthwhile to learn my 
language.  You know who you are, and I Thank you.
