           Summary: magic should be used in case of generic content type
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: szo at szo.hu


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Some strange MUAs (lotus for example) sometimes fail to correctly specify the
content-type of the attachments in mail messages. In these cases kmail prompts
to the user to select the application. I think it would be better if in case of
application/octet-stream kmail would use the file-magic to discover the real
content type of the file and propose the associated application.
