Thank you for the reply. There is an option to execute an external program when you recieve mail, but no option to execute a program when you have read the new mail. So I can turn the LED on but I can't turn it off! If I have to make it more complicated and check the status via a DCOP call or similar that would be OK. If no-one knows of an easier way, I will look at the developer docs for KMail.

I have an email LED on my laptop which would be very useful to use. (It is also a very nice blue so it seems a shame to waste it) I've written a script to toggle it on/off but Kmail only seems to use the KDE notify framework for new mail - thus there is no way of toggling the LED off again once the mail has been read. Is there any way for Kmail to notify external programs/scripts on BOTH receiving new mail and again when that mail is read?

I'll check the bug-list again, although I failed to find a similar problem listed the last time. It does definately fail to match a newline though and can quite happily replace a string with nothing. I've replaced other special characters (e.g. Tab) with nothing too - but if you do a search for newline (\n) nothing is found.

I'm going insane trying to work out why Kate (KDevelop) ignores the newline character \n in Find/Replace. I can't add or replace newlines in a Replace operation - a very basic function that I used all the time with Ultraedit edit in Windows. Stripping out empty lines (for example) from a several thousand line file is no fun done manually! Can anyone tell me a workaround, a way of changing Kates behaviour or give the Kate developer a poke in the eye?
