There should be no such thing as a "bad message which causes kmail to
crash. Which means that this is a bug. Which means it should be reported.
If you haven't removed the "bad message" don't. Please report this
upstream.
IIRC I discovered later that the problem was not in the message itself, but a
problem with the GPG signature of the message. I don't recall the details,
but GPG was choking on it. It has only happened once and that was a long,
long time ago.
