Waldo are you sure about this fix?

For a long time KMail wasn't working on the Alpha architecture, it was crashing
when a composer window was created. This was due to a KMail bug rather than a
mimelib bug, I fixed this in the HEAD branch and later in KMail 1.0.29.1.

A week or so after I fixed it in the HEAD branch someone else independently
fiixed it, but they fixed it in a different way. I have a vague recollection of
this other fix being same as the one you have committed. 

This fix may work but I don't believe it is necessary (the real bug was in
KMail) and it doesn't look right to me. 

I have never actually used an Alpha machine and had to debug this problem via
email with a KMail user so perhaps you actually have an Alpha machine and know
what is going on better than me.

BFN,
Don.
