Just to let you know, this is not the case. I can reproduce the problem with 
*every* mail that has a base64 attachment bigger than 1 MB (well, it is slow 
with 500kb as well but not *that* slow). A mail with 15 MB takes at least 15 
minutes on my PII400. However, I don't know the exact value as I killed KMail 
then...

What about just looking at the type of attachment without parsing it? Then, if 
it is text or html, show it, otherwise skip it. If you don't save it to disk, 
then this should be possible, no?

This is really a big problem for my University, I'm responsible for the KDE 
installation and it is the reason people don't want me to install KMail as 
default mailer :-(
