Description Alexei Dets 2005-01-08 01:01:26 UTC 
Version:           1.7.2 (using KDE 3.3.2-1.3.1.kde, Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-1.2199.nptlsmp

Looks like that when displaying HTML messages KMail calculates element positions not from the start of the message body but from the top of the message frame.
So, if message contains elements that use absolute positions, and these positions are near the top of the document (example: <DIV id=Layer1 
style="Z-INDEX: 1; LEFT: 27px; WIDTH: 729px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 23px; HEIGHT: 93px">

Isn't #96020 the security aspect of this bug?
