Before I get back to your question, there's no reason to address the message 
to me as well, as I'm subscribed to the list. Rule of thumb: if the Reply-to 
header does not specify that someone wants a reply off-list, don't send one.

Okay, since you get the same problem using different e-mail servers we can 
rule out that the server somehow causes the message to be retrieved 
incorrectly with KMail. I wanted to rule this out because even though another 
e-mail reader might get it right, the reason KMail got it wrong could 
hypothetically have been that it were more sensitive to some oddity 
perpetrated by the server. It would appear that's not the case.

If you have root access on your computer, you can still set up a new user 
account on your computer and set up that user's KMail to retrieve from that 
same e-mail account. This way you will be able to tell if the problems you 
are seeing are because of a corrupted configuration file or maildir store.

I don't think the problem is with displaying them, but rather retrieving or 
storing them, since they get cut off in the middle of the headers. On that 
note, are you positive that only HTML e-mails are affected?
