I did a yum update yesterday and got a lot of kde 4.8.1 rpms (replacing mostly 4.7.4, I guess). Now claws-mail crashes every time I send a message (though the message does seem to get sent). Claws-mail didn't get updated, and it seems to work ok with gnome, so I assume the problem is the kde stuff.
Claws shows a message at the bottom saying it's "Scanning folder avrunin@ext.math.umass.edu/Queue" (the account is avrunin@ext.math.umass.edu) and dies.
I have sent off the abrt stuff (#804790 on bugzilla), but I'm hoping there's some known problem and I can either work around it or use rpms from updates-testing or the kde repos. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Possibly an oxygen-gtk issue. (oxygen-gtk2 got updated, too.)
Try setting the GTK+ theme to Adwaita in the GTK+ settings in KDE System Settings (kcm-gtk) and logout and login again (or restart xsettings-kde manually). If that makes the problem go away, it's a bug in oxygen-gtk (oxygen-gtk2 in this case) and should be filed as such. If the problem persists after switching to Adwaita, it must be somewhere else.

Thanks, Kevin, that seems to have done the trick. I will make a comment on my bug report on the Fedora bugzilla. Should I also try to change the component to oxygen-gtk2? Or is there somewhere else I should file a bug report?

Yes, but…

… https://bugs.kde.org/ is the bug tracker used by upstream oxygen-gtk2.
