           Summary: Kmail consumes huge amount of memory while displaying
                    email with large attachments
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: GUI
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: anshulajain at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.96)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I'm using Opensuse 4.3 RC1 Release 4.2.96 "Release 142" & Kmail version 1.12.0.
I have an email with 2 large PDF attachments of 3.1MB and 1.5MB. I have set the
appearance view to "display beside the message pane". Now if I start Kmail (and
not Kontact) the memory consumed through htop is approx 60MB. If I click on
this email with the large attachment, the memory jumps upto 90MB and if I click
on a normal text message it comes back to 60MB.

This is reproducible everytime.I can give provide a screenshot and any other
information if needed.
