Hello, I found a workaround and source of the problem described up to comment 16, workaround which worked in at least one case (mine). 
  It is the passage of the e-mails through clamav, when they are given back to kmail, kmail cannot really understand what's inside and creates crap. 
  Disabling the antivirus check with clamav avoids the risk that the problem will happen again in the future, at least when using kmail 1.9.5 with kde 3.5.5 and clamav 0.91.2 on OpenSuse 10.2 (but people that had the problem with other versions and distributions could try as well this).
  Unfortunately, the only way to recover the messages that have been destroyed is being lucky enough to still have the temporary files created by clamav in the /tmp directory, and finding a way (help here would be welcome) to pipe their contents back in such a way that kmail will accept them (would be sufficient to know how kmail decides the name of a file when using the maildir format, to just copy at file system level the mails in the right place).
