           Summary: kmail freezes when displaying mails where my address
                    is in the "from" header
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: smorg at gmx.de


Version:           1.13.0 (KDE SC 4.4rc1) (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.2 (Gentoo 4.4.2 p1.0) Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I do not know if this bug relates to kmail, akonadi or nepomuk - since it is
triggered from and freezes kmail, I filed it under kmail.

When clicking on a mail which has one of my mail addresses in the from header,
kmail (at least parts of it) freeze and nepomuk runs amok.

This is a regression from KDE SC 4.3.4, kmail was working as expected before.
It was even worse with 4.4beta2 though.

Reproducible: always 
Steps to reproduce:
- click on a mail that has one of your mail addresses in the from header (e.g.
in the draft folder, sent-mail folder or in a folder containing a mailing list)
- stare at kmail or htop or something else ;)

What happens:
- the kmail (or kontact) window does not react to mouse and keyboard input
anymore (for a while at least), mails are still collected and filtered, the
unread count for folders still updated (the windowmanager-parts of the window
also respond)
- nepomuk runs amok (requesting more memory fast (about 9MB per second, rising
to 500MB if not killed), using about 60-70% of a phenomII-940 core while doing
so)
- with kde sc 4.4beta2 kmail / kontact had to be killed & restarted in order to
be used again, now it usually responds again after a while

what should happen:
-kmail displays the mail instantly
-kmail ui does not freeze
-nepomuk does not increase memory usage and cpu utilization

used software:
qt: 4.6.0
kde sc: 4.4rc1 (with 4.4beta2 it was even worse)
os: gentoo linux (~amd64)

unaffected:
kde sc 4.3.4 (with same version of qt)

If there is more information / testing that I can provide, please let me know.
