Right. We're on the same page. These messages are totally messed up. This 
isn't a function of kmail. I just see them that way because kmail stops 
whatever payload they were carrying.
I went out of town two weeks ago and only had a laptop running XP for a week. 
I was astounded to see what mail looked like under Outlook Distress. But you 
what. I wouldn't trade from kmail for the world. I don't even have to think 
about viruses or spam as anything but a proof that my mail connection is 
working. First I filter on <html> and that alone gets 90% of the spam. So 
I'll just add "no subject" to the filter list and flush that toilet once in a 
while/
