Rendering

SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Received spam email 
2. View in Kmail with HTML enabled.

OBSERVED RESULT

The spammer HTML is rendered bleeding over the message list component, this allows the scammer to fake information, as well as making their phishing attack more effective.

EXPECTED RESULT

The mail client will prevent the email content corrupting the display of message metadata, so that users can make informed choices, and are less likely to be fooled.

Attaching the decoded HTML from the email. Although I wouldn't have thought it useful for fixing the issues, it might help reproduce the test case.

Is it possible to save email as mbox and send me it (in private as you want).
Thanks

Agree on duplicate of 429393, although the description there isn't clear that the HTML can alter the headers entirely that is only picked up on in the comments.
