Juliano, if it were that easy to reproduce, it would have been fixed for long.
If I follow your advice, KMail doesn't crash at all.
The main problem to make the crash reproducible is to describe exactly the
constellation of some threaded messages which causes KMail to crash. I even
had cases were it was not enough to send the content of a folder to a
developer. His system didn't crash, but mine did. In the end, he was able to
provide some patched files for me. In turn, I had to compile KMail based on
that patches and send back the output. It took some iterations to get that
specific constellation fixed.
So, it's understandable that this bug report was marked as fixed after several
constellations have been fixed. After every fix you think, this was the last
place which broke the application. Unfortunately the threading algorithm
seems to be all but easy. If you want to make KMail a lot more stable,
consider switching off the threading options.
