KMail 3.2.3-1 instability
Roy Bixler
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.
So, I have to say, you're right.

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.
I can confirm this bug.
Have fun,

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!)

The problem I have with making an intelligent statement is that some
people then think that it's not an isolated occurrance.

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.
