Rendering

SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Received spam email 
2. View in Kmail with HTML enabled.

OBSERVED RESULT

The spammer HTML is rendered bleeding over the message list component, this
allows the scammer to fake information, as well as making their phishing attack
more effective.

EXPECTED RESULT

The mail client will prevent the email content corrupting the display of
message metadata, so that users can make informed choices, and are less likely
to be fooled.
