greetings!

as noted, recent builds of kmail have crashed here. today i tried to 
get to the bottom of it, as follows:

using my working kmail, 1.1.40 of 4/16, i went through all my folders 
and made sure that all messages were marked as read. interestingly, 
one folder reports 27 unread messages no matter what i do -- and it 
contains no unread messages. if memory serves, this was a bug that i 
thought got squashed weeks, if not months, ago. i also emptied my 
inbox. i then switched to a day-old build of kde2 cvsup harvest, 
including the anti-html hack dod has suggested in kmail.

the new kmail now opened normally. i was able to execute kppp and 
collect the new mail, which appeared in the new mail list normally. 
so far so good. but when i clicked on a (plain text, btw) message, it 
first appeared, but then the entire kmail window became blank except 
for a titlebar that contained the subject of the message; after a 
fraction of a second kmail crashed and disappeared, again without an 
appearance by the kde crash handler, which has not been shy about 
showing up very nearly everytime a kde application is simply closed.

clicking on any of the folders produces the same effect. and doing 
this without any existing ~/Mail produces the same effect. so it does 
not seem to be a problem with my ~/Mail.

i'm at a total loss.

if you go with the flow you'll get
chopped to pieces by the turbines.
