[Kde-pim] [patch] file:// link in mailreader

[Martin Koller]

Hi,

I often get mails from colleagues which include links to file url, but 
the mails are sent in plain text, e.g.
file://ourServer/some/path/file

I found that kmail does not render them as klickable links in 
linklocator.cpp as the comment says:
// note: no "file:" for security reasons

Can someone tell me what kind of security reasons there are to not have 
it clickable ?

For me it is very inconveniant to not be able to just click on them to 
open the file on our server.

Anybody objections against activating this (patch against 3.5 
attached) ?

BTW: the file is no longer in trunk. How is this solved there ?
