Steps to Reproduce:

2. imap into your server with kmail
3. read the email
4. view source

should look something like this:

Actual Results:  
kmail choked on handling the email

Expected Results:  
I should have seen the email :)

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I will try upgrading kmail today, to see if this solves the problem.

oops, fixed the permissions problem on the webserver :)  I always forget about that.

If the latest KDE doesn't fix it, it's a bug that needs to be filed at bugs.kde.org
