This is not the same as bug 134042.

When kmail is started, column width is automatically adjusted; as far as I understand, according to the longest items in every column. Unfortunately, it opts to show Sender and Date in full, and Subject is truncated. This leaves too little space for Subject to be able to read it in full (esp. for mailing lists that prepend list name like [SOME-LIST] or bugzilla numbers etc).

Every time I resize columns manually, but this gets lost when kmail is restarted. Once I went to options and changed option to display message MIME structure - and after that column width was reset again!

This is quite annoying. Usual behavior for GUI programs is to remember such settings automatically; but I do not see any way to save it even manually.
