Hi Allen,

I hit exactly the same bug when forwarding a message with attachments about a 
month ago [0] - the problem is that KMime sometimes decides to delete/re-
create some parts of the Message, leaving caller with dangling pointers.

I talked about it with Volker, he said that there's no real easy fix for that 
other than removing this behavior from KMime, but since it's a behavior 
change, it needs to be done carefully.

You can work around the crash by forwarding the message as attachment - most 
sane clients will show it inline anyway.
