Did you update kdelibs and kmail?

It's not unusual for white space bugs to be introduced into the khtml widget. 
(Seems to happen every few months). Here's a recent workaround:

http://kdewebcvs.nebsllc.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kdenetwork/kmail/kmreaderwin.cpp.diff?r1=1.265&r2=1.266

If you can, please verify it's a bug in the khtml widget, complain to the 
html developers (cc their list) and try to find a workaround for the problem 
in KMail itself.

It's important to keep KMail in cvs usable at all times, unfortunately that 
sometimes means working around bugs in the libs, we can't just wait for bugs 
in the libs to be fix by the maintainers there.

Obviously a change shouldn't be made if there is no bug in the html widget 
and it's just a case of kmail and kdelibs being out of sync.

BFN,
Don.
