I especially like some of the copy/paste formatting when grabbing excerpts
from web pages.
The default behavior of Kopete seems to have a similar mentality where
(some) usability is an afterthought. In Kopete's case, its default behavior
has rendered the application practically useless to the average user (i.e.
Does it seriously need 5 Configure menu entries? Where's my "Add Account"
wizard that's been a standard for Instant Messengers for 10 years? How do I
turn off those pop-ups when people sign on? I'm installing Pidgin.) I
digress.
Back to email... If you're uncle bob's "FW: Jesus Saves" or "IMPORTANT: Buy
Viagra" emails are seriously causing that much havoc on your inbox, fix the
problem from the source and tell uncle bob to stop sending you email.
I feel too often that stripping features in the name of security can only go
so far. There needs to be a middle ground where we aren't all typing in
gedit (or in this case, kate).
