Hello,
	I do not understand the email rcd from Christof Feck
Just in case he wants to know what changed to cause the crash
My  PClinuxOS Full monty sytem was working fine untill I did update.
	First I became aware that Kmail crashed if I tried to save Email address  
from a rcd email. I made a bug report to KDE. 
In order to put together a working adresssbook I decided to cut and paste  
adress links into the Addressbook direct. Adress book crashed immeditaely on 
every attempt to paste.
Hoping that updates would bring a fix for the problem I have run daily updates
14,15,16 june 2012 problem remains.
Regards

Hello,
	Problem is fixed by downloading and installing

I am having the same problem.  Also with PCLinuxOS.  I see that I have shared-mime-info 1.0-pclos2012 installed.  Is the fix here to install an earlier version?  Who owns this file?  shouldn't the fix be to update the file to correct the problem?  

OK, where do I go to get a copy of the earlier version?  Should I be submitting this on a PCLinuxOS dub report?

You have to install /shared-mime-info-0.90-1pclos2012.i586.rpm
Use google to search for a download of it
There is a bug report covering the same thing on the PClinuxOS forum and instructions are given there for using a consol and command line to uninstall the shared mime you have now and install the 0.9
Do note that this stops the crash but you will still not have access to the address book. I am disgusted KDE team do not seem to give a damn about getting Kmail to work properly.
