I'm getting hammered by a lot of emails which have different subject lines and a different sender. Kmail displays it in plain text, does not say that it is a html message which can be viewed if you click here but there is html view available if scroll down to the description box, below the email.
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...

OK, thanks for the tips everyone. I'll keep classifying as spam for now and see how it picks them up. I do have kmail set up to move spam as unread, to a spam folder, where I can check to make sure I don't want them. I've done that because once in a blue moon, an odd spam email has some interest.
