My other issue is with wireless networking, which is unavailable to me in ascii/stretch, due to some renaming of the wifi interface (or a deeper issue, perhaps) from wlan0 (in jessie) to wlx00027288d1fd (in stretch/ascii). This is probably an issue unrelated to Kmail, but maybe not? Also, I cannot tell if it is a problem only with TDE, or is more an issue with Devuan, or the Ascii release.
It's probably udev's fault, or at least this sounds an awful lot like the "predictable" network interface names issue that landed years ago in most other distros.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/689070/network-interface-name-changes-after -update-to-15-10-udev-changes seems to cover most of the mitigation advice I've read.

Thanks so much for this link. I haven't had a moment to check it yet (as email still "works" in Devuan Jessie), but I need to sort it out, and maybe this will lead me to a resolution of this issue. I would really like to upgrade at least to Ascii/Stretch, and join the hep crowd.
