Composer

This Composer Api will be exposed through QML. The backend contains the basic functions of a message composer. This will be further extended in future. We already have implemented the following till now:

• the send function
• receive from, body, subject
• receiver model and an attachment model ( which is being re-used from the present kmail composer)

The complete basic Api plan is as follows:

PROPERTIES:

Q_PROPERTY(QString identity ....)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel *toModel .... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel *ccModel .... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(ReceiverModel *bccModel ... CONSTANT)
Q_PROPERTY(QString subject ....)
Q_PROPERTY(QString body ....)
Q_PROPERTY(QString from ....)
Q_PROPERTY(AttachmentModel *attachmentModel .... CONSTANT)

FUNCTIONS:

void subject()

Recieves the text input as QString from the editor in QML for subject

void body()

Recieves the text input as QString from the editor in QML for body.

void replyTo()

void from()
