Yep, it looks correct now. :)

If I wanted replies to my address, I would add it in the Reply-To. Since I'm
subscribed to the list, I don't request this. The NOSPAM block helps fend off
replies that ignore this fact as a welcome side effect to its more obvious
purpose.
You should use "Reply to list" (L) rather than "Reply to all" (which replies
to the sender even if the Reply-To line does not request this) or simply
KMail's "Reply" (R) function which respects the Reply-To line, meaning it
replies to the list unless someone requests anything else.

It was. For me, it was made harder to track down because I had updates lined
up from a few days, including the recent kdelibs and qt, which tend to be the
usual suspects these days, and my initial suspicion pointed me in that
(incorrect) direction too. Fortunately, I keep a log of what packages get
updated and when, and was able to see that freefont was in the list the same
day.
For the record, the way I figured it out was by (1) realising that it was the
text that was adding the extra space -- my title bars increased in size too,
which takes the minimise/maximise buttons with it, making them huge, (2)
testing another font and (3) noticing that it worked, searched
bugs.debian.org for reports against freefont.

Glad to help, and I hope it gets fixed properly soon, which I'm sure it will.
I miss FreeSans. It is an absolutely wonderfully readable font, and I
normally use it for everything, including forcing all Web pages to use it.
