Hello

I found a bug in KMail 1.4.2 (KDE 3.0.2)

The problem is the following: If a Mail contains a null byte KMail doesn't display the rest of the message. (but it displays the whole message in message source view)

You can test this problem by copying the following text to a mbox file in ~/Mail and read the Mail in KMail.

Here is a Null-Byte!=00

PS: This isn't something I tested just for fun. I really got a message containing a   =00   (in quoted printable) byte.
