Email that modified my header

SUMMARY
I recently received an email, that changed the appearance of the header. It didn't do anything evil, but I am sure that this could be used to hide information in a targeted attack.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. View the attached mbox email in kmail (enable html)

OBSERVED RESULT
The header in the email viewer is affected by stylesheets in the email.

EXPECTED RESULT
The header should not be touchable by the email itself in any way.
