I’ve had this problem for a while now over several versions (updates) of kmail and googling it can’t seem to find others that have the same issue.
Hoping somewhere might have an idea . . .
When composing rich text emails (which is set as my default) the email appears in the composition as completely fine.
However, at the receivers end the first line of text is always one point smaller than all other lines.
You can probably see the issue in this screenshot

what might be the cause of this . . . possible solutions?
This is currently evident in KMail 20.08.0-1.2
If switching to plain text then the message is displayed fine at the other end
