I think I was being generous by making them recommended since it
actually appears to fit the definition of Suggests best: "installing
this one [kmail] without them [kde*-kio-plugins] is perfectly
reasonable" in the common case of getting mail from a local mbox file.
And I certainly don't want it to be absolutely impossible to install
kmail without kde{pim,base}-kio-plugins also being installed.
Maybe I could add a blurb to the kmail description, though, that
explains "To get mail from an IMAP server using kmail, you need to
install kdepim-kio-plugins, and to get mail from a POP server, you
need to install kdebase-kio-plugins".
