I have one contact that uses an email client that sends everyting in QP- encoded. Unfortunately she is also one of the more important contacts I have. Apparently KMail chokes on these messages and displays nothing (apart from a boilerplate message which isn't QP encoded).
How do I get KMail to read these abominations? I've been googling but not finding anything.

This problem apparently has a history: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296629
One solution might be to change from KMail to Thunderbird, either entirely or for selected correspondents.
Installing additional mail facilities to capture and transfer messages from selected correspondents to alternative email clients, e.g. procmail / mutt, might be another solution.
Others may have technical details about configuring such a more complicated email system.

Yeah seems similar to the recieve problem reported. I tried Thunderbird, which has a webview that solves the problem, but somehow it started eating mail. Or at least I can't find a couple of mail I know I've recieved.
Maybe it's me. I was hoping to avoid changing client.
