What have you found that it's missing? Personally, I prefer it for
getting binary attachments as it does a terrific job of automatically
getting all the parts for you. It doesn't work at all for posting
binaries, however. There are other tools that one can use from the
command line, but I rarely do that.

It should be there if you've installed it. I don't use menus all that
often. Have you tried going to a konsole and running knode from the
command line?

Well it's part of kontact, which also includes some other programs,
but it's installable separately.
