Summary: selecting big mail eats all RAM and swap
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: orangewarrior gmail com
Version: (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
I use maildir's.
steps to reproduce:
1. receive mail with huge mime-encoded attatchement (I've got 600MB one)
2. select unread message
3. kmail eats all RAM and starts swapping (I've got 2GB of ram)
conclusion:
1. there's no chance to know if you got such weird mail until you try to open
it (and then it's hard to know what's going on without manually checking mail)
2. when trying to delete it, it needs to be selected, but this triggers swapping
workaround:
1. move mail from maildir somewhere else
2. use "head" to read the mail ;)
expected behaviour:
1. kmail opens mail without showing attatchements
1. kmail allows to select message without eating so much RAM
