Package: kmail
Version: 1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          GCC 3.1
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake Cooker

I'm afraid this isn't going to be the most helpful of bug reports, but kmail 1.4.1 \
has a tendency to crash whilst composing long emails (say, 100 lines plus). It \
crashes completely, and occurs whilst typing. From what I recall, it normally happens \
if I have been doing some block copy/paste or cuts, and happens whilst I am editing \
halfway up the email. Unfortunately, I'm normally swearing too much at having lost my \
email to take note of the backtrace :-) so I can't provide it.

It does not seem to matter whether the email that I was editing was new or saved to \
draft, either causes a crash.

Incidentally, it might be useful to have a backup feature so that when kmail crashes, \
any emails being composed can be retrieved on startup - e.g. by saving composed \
emails to a backup folder every 30 seconds perhaps.
