Severity:          normal

OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

kmail apparently has a maximum acceptable length for email headers, around 507-508 \
characters.  When email headers exceed that length, kmail seems to decide that header \
processing is over, and it truncates the current header and pushes any other headers \
into the body of the message when it stores the email.  The "References: " header can \
exceed 500 characters fairly often in back-and-forth exchanges.  I can provide \
examples of headers mangled by this upon request.
