Hi
could it be that you get a text and a html version? Then the default
behaviour of kmail is to display the text message. You could unset this
behaviour globally (which I would not recommend, certainly not for spam) or
on a folder-by-folder base. I do the latter for certain few trusted email
senders after moving them to a folder 'HTML' with a 'From' filter. I can then
read the mails directly in HTML format.

Hard to say - depends on the emails you have on the system. You could do a
filtering and move the messages into a folder 'Junk' or so instead of
deleting them (I do that with bogofilter classified spam). Then you could
still check if you 'misclassified' (is that a word?) important emails. If you
do a filtering on 'body' I suspect it will slow down kmail.

Anyway I noticed that bogofilter picks up spam mails more or less quickly
after you have them classified manually as spam a few times...
