How that explains that other MUAs handle that mail fine?
I tend to think that KMail somehow mangled the message.
This really can be a KMail bug. However, unless original reporter
takes some measures to investigate the matter, I don't
think it can be known for sure.
tcpdump -nli<eth> -s0 -xX port 110
will be interesting to see, at least.
