There's no such thing as a BCC header. It wouldn't be blind if the addresses were present, right? :-) Can you attach such an email to this bug report, zipped please?

It is optional, and IIRC a client putting it into a mail is still RFC compliant since it is only a "should not". > Can you attach such an email to this bug report, zipped please? I'll do so once I find a way to generate 35428 bogus email addresses. I won't attach the original mail to protect the innnocent as much as still possible. Ingo fixed mimelib parsing of extreme amounts of headers in Osnabrueck. Fix will be in 3.4 Created attachment 9088 [details] Testcase with 35428 mail addresses in a BCC header This file expands to a bit over 200kbyte. This is a "slightly" modified version of the mail I received in the frist place. All BCC addresses have been replaced by "a@b.c". Also, some other headers and the text have been altered. Loading the file makes KMail hang for several minutes before displaying the message. What I can see is that the header box (fancy headers) has its background drawn, but the sidelines of the surrounding box aren't drawn all the way down. Also, KMail has no problem displaying a message with a similar amount of text content, but with a much smaller header part. Once the message is loaded, display is a bit sluggish but responsive. *** Bug 97194 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Hi, I reopen this bug, as i recently experienced this again with kmail 1.9.9 (KDE 3.5.9 "release 51.2" , openSUSE ). This weekend i recieved a spam e-mail with over 36,000 recipents in the 'from' field. When kmail is asked to open the mail, it blocks the kmail window for about 5 minutes. After that it displays fine. Processing the mail (like saving it to disk) also blocks the kmail window for 5 minutes. Same when i try to open another mail or mail box right after the spam mail in question. Created attachment 23842 [details]
