I wonder if anyone has noticed that KMail 3.2.3-1 version recently uploaded is less stable than the 3.2.2-2 version. In particular, I sometimes do a "V" (View Source) command to view the full source of a message to see its full headers. This never caused a problem before, but with the 3.2.3-1 KMail version, it crashes quite frequently with the "V" command. My solution for now is to revert to the 3.2.2-2 package off of "snapshot.debian.net" and downgrade to "sarge" from "unstable". Since I've reverted, KMail is stable as before.
If it matters, I'm running on a Sun Ultrasparc (Blade 100) machine with the official Debian 2.4.26 Linux kernel.

Of course, having updated the night before, as I was reading your message, I thought "Huh - that's interesting" and pushed V without even thinking. Of course, Kontact crashed like a drunken man on a unicycle: hard, fast, & immediately.

Good to know that I'm not the only stupid one reading a bug report and instantly trying it out :-) Never seen something crashing that fast.

Exact same happened to me. It was pretty damn funny.
FWIW, I've been using Alt+H bound to "all headers" and Alt+F to switch back to "fancy headers". Works good for me.

(I bound those keys to those functions so I can see what my newly installed spamassassin is doing. I now find it kind of ironic that since I've installed spamassassin I've never spent more time looking at or been more curious about spam!)

I am not experiencing this problem with 3.2.3-1. Running Libranet/Debian.

Bug confirmed on my system, Debian Sid running on 650MHz Athlon.

It wears off once you get it working reliably :). There's supposed to be a new feature going into KMail (already exists as a patch somewhere) to allow the user to view specific additional headers. In my case I'd use X-Bogosity so I can tell how well Bogofilter is doing on both ham and spam without having to press 'V' all the time.
On a side note, the wonderful thing about spam is it gives you a large body of email to experiment on (mainly for rewriting various things). If you make a mistake - just delete it and try again on another. One of the good ones I've created is a KMail filter to rewrite the date of messages identified as spam so when I expire them from my Junk folder it actually deletes all the ones it should (otherwise spam with forward dates hangs around for eons).

The plan is working, Emperor Ming.
