           Summary: System locks up when reading e-mail with large (~30+)
                    number of attachments
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.4
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: John laczik org


Version:           1.9.4 (using KDE 3.5.4, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.17-5mdv

When trying to load/preview an e-mail I recently received, which had more than ~30 attachments and was ~4MB in size, the system locked up completely after some initial disk activity. A system reset was then required.  I view this as critical - KMail must not bring the whole system down, even if the e-mail it receives is extremely large or complex.
