[kdepim-users] e-mails that take a long time to send

Hi everybody,

I remember a couple of threads in this list discussing how sometimes sending 
an e-mail almost locks kontact/kmail for several seconds. I have been 
experiencing that occasionally, too. I sign my e-mails and it takes sometimes 
more than a minute to see the prompt to enter the passphrase while sending 
some e-mails. If you chose to wait, it may take as long as several minutes to 
send a 5-line e-mail with no attachments. I recently noticed that the common 
denominator in all these types of e-mails, at least in my case, was the origin 
of the e-mail I was replying to being MS Outlook. To rephrase, if some one 
sends me an e-mail using Outlook and I chose to reply to it, even though both 
the original e-mail and the reply was very short, the sending process may 
lock-up kontact/kmail as described above. Not all the e-mails originated from 
Outlook cause this but all e-mails that cause this problem, at least in my 
case, originates from Outlook. I wonder if this is some kind of a field 
inserted by Outlook into the e-mail header causing this behavior?

I hope I could make myself clear. I just wanted to share this, so other users 
may either confirm or refute this experience. If it is confirmed, it may be 
worthwhile to investigate what is the actual trigger, IMHO.

Regards,

Hakan
