I've reported this problem, but the developers don't seem to care about it -- I regularly receive HTML messages and if I click on the link to render the HTML and/or load external pictures, it will often cause KMail (Kmail 2) to crash. Of course, since I don't have the debugging symbols loaded, it doesn't do a darn bit of good to click on "report" especially as it seems to not want to interface with bugs.kde.org. :(
IIRC someone said it has to do with the app that is being used to render the HTML, but that it was hard-coded so couldn't be changed. Anyone know if this is the case or if there's a "fix" in the works?

For giggles, if you happen to have flash-plugin installed, to uninstall it (temporarily) if that helps?
If so, you're experiencing a flash-plugin bug (fixed in 11.2beta and newer)

Nah... thats not it. I get this happening with lots of different sources. Tech Republic, CNET etc. It more than likely a problem that has its bases in Konqueror. But thats just a wild guess.

I think you're correct.

Those "lots of different sources" probably all use Flash, for ads, for illustrations or whatever. Flash bugs usually affect ALL sites with ANY Flash on it.

I upgraded from KMail to Kmail2 late last year. Ever since then I have had 100% crash in Kmail if I select "load external references" in a daily news- letter I read. The crash happens when I delete the mail. If I select NOT to "load external references" I can delete the mail without any crash.
After reading this thread I upgraded the flash plugin to 11.2 rc1. Now the crashes seems to be a thing of the past. I have tried to provoke KMail2 with the same mail that made it crash 100% earlier but all seems ta be fine! (touch wood)
Thanks for the tip Rex! Jan
