Indeed, that's true.  However, I don't think his suggestion was meant to imply 
that this is the only feature that KMail handles better than Thunderbird.  I 
know that *I* wouldn't have changed just because of that, after years with 
Thunderbird.  

I changed because it handles lists better, the editor works better, it handles 
newlines properly, it's easier to create message filters, doesn't keep telling 
me that it thinks a daily message from my weather service is spam after I've 
told it hundreds of times that it's not spam, and a number of other minor 
annoyances from Thunderbird were missing in KMail.

Since one doesn't need to remove another email client in order to give KMail a 
try, I'd recommend such a trial for anyone who's the least bit unhappy with 
their current client.  

Be forewarned, though:  KMail versus Thunderbird just isn't a fair fight.
