Yes! I would like to come back and work with kmail.

The problem is with some hacks in the file:
KDE_CVS/kdepim/libkdenetwork/kmime_codec_qp.cpp

in member function: QuotedPrintableDecoder::decode where they try to filter out \
control chars by setting a flag named "mBadChar" to the value of the evil character \
and then make sure that this flag is still equal to '0' before any output (assert).

I never managed to get the CVS version to compile, so debugging was not that \
successfull.  But if someone with a decent setup of KDE sources and experiences in \
this area could just try this and tweak the logic around "mBadChar"; it would be of \
tremendous help. Could an overflow of an "unsigned char" assignment be the source of \
all problems?
