Sorry for the html-mail. I use kmail normally, this one should be polain text 
(disabled the html formatting option). Tx for pointing out.

The problem started with the latest 1.5.0.7 release and I switched to v2.O to 
find out whether the problem would persist. Unfortenately it does. The 
extensions I have installed are: adblock plus, custom buttons, DOM inspector, 
DownThemAll, Flashgot, Google Calendar notifier and NoScript. I use the Noia 
2.0 (eXtreme) theme.

Tx for helping
