           Summary: Kmail uses large amount of memory when opening multiply
                    forwarded mails with big atachments (similar to bug
                    110574)
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: nuorama gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Using kmail 3.5.8

When receiving emails forwarded multiple times which also include large atachments kmail will start to use more and more memory. It gets to aprox 500 MB and maybe would go even more but the swapping makes to computer freeze and I have to kill it.

This looks like
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110574
but it doesn't need such big e-mails, 10 MB is enough. 
Also, kmail is able to work with 20 MB mails, but these where no multiply forwarded. I can provide such an e-mail if needed.
