-- Information about the crash:
This is standard kontact on Debian stable. The version information from the
about page is  5.22.3 (22.12.3)

When I select a signed mail from a Debian developer writing about a security
update, the pane showing the mail content freezes. In that pane I only see the
messages
"Bittte warten Sie, während die Signatur überprüft wird...
Ende der signierten Nachricht"

i.e. "Please wait while the signature is checked...
End of the signed message"

without the message content. I can select other mails, but the pane stays
frozen and does not show the contents of the selecte mail, whether it is signed
or not. 

When I close kontact by klicking the cross in the top right corner of the
kontact window, I get a message "Kontact wurde unerwartet beendet", with the
possibility to restart (which works) or write a bug report (which got me here).
This happens every time I select such an email. I also tried an email from a
different domain, this time the contents of the mail are displayed between the
two cited messages, but the program freezes in the same way.

Let me know if you need more information about my setup.

The crash can be reproduced every time.
