After setting Fancy Headers in menu View->Headers and leaving KMail/Kontact this setting is not preserved in the next invocation of Kontact/Kmail. It starts with the setting KMail 5.2. Reproducible: Always
as workaround edit ~/.config/kmail2rc and search for entry header-plugin-style-name. Proper values are: custom all-headers brief enterprise fancy grantlee long-header standards-header

ok, so create one in [Reader] section.
Thanks, the workaround works!
Not only fancy headers are not kept. All view>headers options disappeared! but "kmail 5.2" (for example it is impossible to view all receivers of a message, to get non us date) kmail 5.4.2, Linux Manjaro 64
Please install kdepim-addons
Using kmail2 5.4.2 from packet kmail version 16.12.2-1.1 and having installed kdepim-addons packet version 16.12.2-1.1, I still need to set Fancy headers each time I start kmail/kontact or to set the workaround.
happens for me as well in version 5.4.3. I do have kdepim-addons installed.
Apparently no longer relevant.
