Seems that somehow the metadata associated with the email got lost or 
damaged. I can't say why it happened. Losing the body on copy was possible 
until recently (a few days ago) IF the account from where you copied was 
offline (local accounts, like a maildir folder can also be offline). The 
header should have not been lost though.


If the problematic mails are in a maildir folder, locate them on the disk 
and see their contents. Or even try to copy (on the disk, not in kmail) to 
another maildir folder and later sync that folder in kmail. If the content 
is not sensitive, you can even send the mail to me and I'll verify if it 
looks ok or it is damaged.
