Bug still present in KMail 1.9.7 the worst thing is that it modifies incoming mail! For example, the same message received both by KMail and Thunderbird 2.0:

KMail:
Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="us-ascii"

This break is after column 25 so
"(Header) lines should not be longer than 72 characters and therefore 
 line breaks are valid and possible." is false because whole line is 44 colums wide.
KMail adds: 0xa 0x20 bytes after ";" byte causing line break. Modifying -received- mail in KMail to add line break after column 25 to protect 44 column wide line against 72 column limit is the most stupid thing I ever saw in computers.

Thunderbird 2.0:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

The inbox folder should be read-only to protect mail against KMail trying to alter original messages. Someone should write a daemon to add +w during pop3 sessions and taking it away immediately after.
