I've had a couple emails that will choke kmail lately.  
Sometimes simply restarting kmail will do, other times
its more difficult.  I attributed it to running a slightly
old kmail.

I've had to go in with a text editor and manually hack
my mbox to remove the offending mail.  

Its always been a virus, or an image or large binary of some form.
I carefully just delete the offending item and save the mbox
and it works fine.
