Not any mail shows this behaviour. In fact I haven't even seen it before and I use kmail daily. - you can change the way headers are displayed and this bug doesn't shows up (I have just tried your example with "Fancy headers"), so there is a known work around. So it might be annoying for you, but considering the above it does not meets the RC criterion at least from the usability side. On the other hand, please avoid expressions that might sound harsh like "Please do something!" and "Did you read all of this bug report?". Always do your best to be kind. After all you already did the only thing we can do: report the bug upstream. We are volunteers trying to make things happen, we do not get paid for doing this and definitely we are not your employees. A little respect goes a long way :) Thank you for your undertanding! -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
