Yeah, the password being captured occurred to me too, but I was worried a 
partial capture would miss the error.

I take it this message was captured when kmail was accessing it.

One of the kmail developers might be better than me at spotting the protocol 
error.  I see Michael Haeckel is currently in charge of that file, but he 
might be too busy.  Anyway, here is my attempt.  At a wild guess, the problem 
is here in the dump you captured:

This looks odd to me because I cannot see why there should be binary data 
after the timezone (the -0000).  But maybe that's just the end of the packet 
and nothing important happened there.  If it translates to whitespace, then I 
can imagine kmail wanting to split the message there, which would cause 
exactly the behavour you're describing.

Looking at the pop3 code, the message is stored inside a variable called 
readBuffer, so try adding the following code to pop3.cc 

Change at somewhere around line 850 (you're bound to be running a different 
version to me, so the code will be on a different line.  Hopefully the rest 
won't have changed much).

          if (buf2 > destbuf) {
            array.setRawData(destbuf, buf2 - destbuf);
            data(array);
            array.resetRawData(destbuf, buf2 - destbuf);
          }

To

          if (buf2 > destbuf) {
            array.setRawData(destbuf, buf2 - destbuf);
            data(array);
	    POP3_DEBUG << array;
            array.resetRawData(destbuf, buf2 - destbuf);
          }

Then start kmail at the command line (so that you get to see the debug 
messages).

Does this sound right? Anybody?
