Thanks for your time. I have since gotten a nudge from others (see below) and compared the sent and received mail. This led me to the discovery that kolab is changing my headers (google-archived copy of the mail is alright, only after piping it through kolab does the header get screwed up). I therefore disagree that this is a kde-pim issue and have taken it to the kolab mailing list instead ... where nobody reacted to it yet ...

Thanks. Went and diffed the complete messages as exported to disk ... and sure enough, here we go: # diff Message_Sent Message_Received 0a1 > 2,3c3 < Content-Type: text/plain; < charset="us-ascii" --- > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" 21c21 < Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc --- > Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Since this is happening through multiple smtp servers, it's most likely that it is happening in kolab. I already shifted this over to their newsgroup ...
