Excerpts from david's message of 2011-08-08 01:32:25 +0200:
I've used K3B for many years now. Twice now, it has popped up asking my
option of the program. It then tries to mail it using KMail, which I
don't have installed. So you'd think it would recognize the failure and
either give me the email text to copy and paste into my mail client of
choice? No, it just hangs forever until I close K3B ...
That's called integration.
Not when it doesn't fail gracefully. Then it's just called shoddy programming.

With a well suited package management it would be indeed integration and
wouldn't fail. ;-) (means not that I like such a fixed integration . .
)

Even a well-suited package management set up wouldn't help it if (1) KMail was installed as a dependency of K3B but (2) the user never used it, so it is never set up to send anything out.

It would still fail, but at least it would let you know instead of just addressing grayspace and never coming back ...
