Thanks.

I looked at the kmailrc, but I didn't know which option to edit.  I was 
searching for 'messagestruct', or even 'tructur' to avoid case difference.  Now 
I know that I should search for 'MIMETreeLocation'.  It's so... intuitive.

I remember that I set the position of the message structure view to the top of 
the preview of the mail.  However this time I got rid of all my kde settings 
and started a new one after upgrading to KDE 4.4.3 with Mandriva 2010.1.  The 
reason was that akonadi really frustrated and upset me.  Theoratically akonadi 
should run in the background, but I found that if I upgraded from 4.3 the 
akonadi didn't quite behave.  Now I got rid of all my settings and started 
from zero, it was quite cute so far.

Thanks again for your help.
