This doc describes the state of the composer when my (cberzan) GSoC project
ended and I could no longer dedicate full time to this.
Things that should be rethought a little and refactored:
* All GUI bits should move out of the jobs. Currently this is only the
MainTextJob's ugly KMessageBox that warns the user if a charset is not good
for their message.
* Some jobs (the MainTextJob, AttachmentJob at least) need to know what
charset(s) the user has chosen and whether 8bit encoding is allowed. This is
currently stored in the GlobalPart, and it sucks horribly that each job
might need access to this GlobalPart. The globalPart is currently obtained
by checking all ancestors if they are a Composer, and calling
thatAncestor->globalPart(). This has the nasty side effect that jobs require
a Composer grandparent, and can't be used independently. I haven't found a
good way to solve this without duplication. :-/
* Related to the above: it should be possible to use any of these jobs outside
of a composer, especially that the TemplateParser and KJots might need them.
It should also be easy to make have something like MyComposer in an
application, extending upon Composer.
Things that are still TODO:
The crypto composer. Currently the plan is to have this simple composer LGPL,
and have another GPL crypto composer that would use this, and be used in KMail.
Whereas this Composer outputs a single KMime::Message, the crypto composer
should probably output a list of Akonadi::Items, and store things that are not
part of the sendable message (such as Bcc) as item attributes.
