    I recently came across an interesting bug in KMail that truncates the plain text portion of
    emails at 60 lines if they also include an HTML section.

    I filed an upstream bug report.

    My guess is this bug has existed for a long time. I only noticed because I was sending an
    email to a Debian mailing list that I was also subscribed to. Usually my emails aren’t long
    enough to trigger this problem, but in this case it was. Also, a lot of my emails don’t include
    HTML, but the example one included URLs, which triggered the sending in both HTML and
    plain text.
