------- Additional Comments From Thomas.McGuire gmx net  2007-04-20 15:41 -------
You found an interesting bug here.
All lines in the body are in the form <field>:<value>. Because of this, KMail incorrectly assumes that the body is a header.

The header contains the following line:
>Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============0171945327=="
Seems like KMail does not use the "boundary" information to detect the start of the body. Instead, it looks if all lines of a part start with a word followed by a colon.

Bug 88271 is somewhat related to this.
