Ok, that fooled me -- I expected that the kmail command "view source" would
let me see the entire email regardless of how it might be "rendered" in the
kmail text box, but I was wrong.
When I view that email in kwrite, I see all of the content, and, then around
the email address (recoverym4n@enotuniq.net, after the * From: Reco in the
body of the email I see two characters that look like triangles -- I'll try
looking at those in hexedit...
Ok, it looks like there is a 0x00 in the byte before the email address (which
is presumably disabling all further rendering in this version of kmail
(1.13.7, on kde 4.8.4), and a 0x09 in the byte after the email address.
So, I guess I have a way to send secret messages (to, at least, myself ;-)
