In kmail 1.11.90 (kde 4.2.65) does not crash. But the sender is set to unknown.

> In kmail 1.11.90 (kde 4.2.65) does not crash. But the sender is set to unknown.

I report bug for KDE3/kmail:

polinanew:~ # kmail --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.10 "release 42"
KMail: 1.9.10

And it crashes (as you see, I niticed in the bug: using KDE 3.5.10).
So, please, test it under KDE3 environment.
Comment 3 Jaime Torres 2009-03-05 16:35:40 UTC 
There will be no further kmail versions for kde 3 (at least from the actual kmail developers). But this bug is still in kmail for kde 4.
Comment 4 Torgny Nyblom 2009-09-09 10:38:08 UTC 
This is fixed (no crash and correct sender) in current trunk, closing.
