Kmail hangs in base64-encoded JPG

Sun Dec 19, 2010 11:31 pm
Kmail 1.13.5 hangs on a message with empty body and a JPG attachment. The preview panel shows one strip of the picture and zooms in and out a little in an infinite loop. The raw message contains this

[mail header omitted]

--Boundary_(ID_YCONU+f7iRGrprUmfWx8tA)
Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII
Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT




--Boundary_(ID_YCONU+f7iRGrprUmfWx8tA)
Content-type: image/jpeg; name=photo.JPG
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
Content-disposition: inline; filename=photo.JPG

--Boundary_(ID_YCONU+f7iRGrprUmfWx8tA)
Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

I am running KDE 4.5.3. Is this a known problem?

BTW: I was able to save the attachment and view it in a browser after having removed the preview panel in KMail.

I suggest filing a bug at bugs.kde.org, if one does not already exist.

This looks like Bug #258606. I had it with a picture, but the idea is the same. I added a note to the bug description.

Thanks
