I remember searching for this feature sometime ago. Then I thought that was what "Subscribe" was for, but subscription made no difference.

(Had to leave Kmail again: After a week it stopped showing the message content in some folders. The message preview just stay blank - even after a logout/login) -- Thanks Klaus ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
