How is that?

I think following standards *is* important, as you'll get unpredictable 
behaviour otherwise and the program will get bloated with exceptions to the 
standard. 

However, I'm not so sure anymore that this is the case here. It might be a 
geniuine bug. It's just very hard to reproduce. It seems that the parsing of 
the messages that were attached to the mail is correct, however, the question 
remains how the messages go that f*cked up in the first place. That may still 
happen somewhere within KMail.
