           Summary: when viewing a message digest, once the content of a
                    message is viewed its impossible to go back and view the
                    message itself (with the headers display)
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.6.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: oded geek co il


Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-4.tmb.1mdk

Its a bit of a problem for me to describe the problem, so here is a blow by blow description of how to see it:
- run kmail
- send yourself a simple text message (it works also for emails with HTML and attachments, but simple test cases are best).
- send yourself another simple text message
- once you receive both messages, mark both of them in kmail message list (for example by holding CTRL and selecting both emails) and forward them to yourself as a message digest.
- once you receive the new forwarded message, show view it in a mail viewer (make sure you have the MIME tree viewer visible). you should see the two embedded messages distinctly.
- now click the first message part in the MIME tree viewer - the one of type 'email message'. you should see one of the embedded messages by itself, including the header display KMail uses, with an outline that says "embedded message" or something. this is good.
- the MIME tree viewer should now have opened a sub item to the one you just chosen which is named for the subject of the embedded message and is of type "plain text". now choose that. only the body of the message will be displayed. this is still good.
- now choose the parent again (the entire embedded message). this should return you to the full message view with the fancy kmail header display - unfortunatly, it doesn't - it still displays the message body.
- try to choose something else in the MIME tree and then go back the embedded message - still just the body is shown. 
- in order to reset the behavior you must choose the root of the MIME tree (the entire embedded message) or choose another mail from Kmail message list and then go back (same thing). only then is it possible to view the embedded message with the headers.

This is probably not very important bug, but its a bit anoying when reading large message digests (as from high volume mailing lists) using the MIME tree viewer (which is a very useful tool). after you once make a mistake and choose the body part, its impossible to see who sent the message and to who unless you climb up to the root of the (possibly very large digest) and go back down again.
