A copy/paste of the whole header as it leaves here for that last message:
wordwrap off.

I have no clue where that References: line is coming from.
It does not exist in any menu I can find.

Here is a puzzle though:

gene@coyote:~$ locate kmailrc
/home/gene/.trinity/share/config/kmailrc

looking thru it with geany, I see two potentiial buffer overflows, the 
last, 5088th line is 2415 chars long. in the title [test-index],removed=
long list of comma seperated 7 digit numbers.

backing up, to line 4542. under [general], "recent addresses" is 1428 
chars long.

Everything else looks legit to these eyes.

Anyplace else that bears looking into?

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
