I think I may have found the cause of that, I tried to run claws and it 
made some non-kmail files in the kmail Mail corpus. I deleted them and 
while I have had the advisory since but never the hour+ long cpu burn as 
seen by htop. 4 or 5 seconds after closing the advisory and its ready to 
work again.  I use old faithfull, mc to look for and do the cleanup .
