           Summary: Save All Attachements fails to detect multipart/mixed
                    inside multipart/mixed
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: damir.perisa solnet ch


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.6, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-ARCH

The function "Save All Attachements" fails to scan Encapsulated messages (multipart/mixed containing multipart/mixed with attachements) for attachements

reproduce:

have an email with this structure:

*This email
-body part (Plain Text)
-body part (Email Message)
\--An Encapsulated message
  -internal part (Plain Text)
  -some attachement (PDF document)
  -some other attachement (XLS document)
-body part (Plain Text)

try in message structure viewer: "Save All Attachements" -> "Found no attachments to save."

if you open the Encapsulated message separately and in the structure viewer try to save all attachements, it works fine. 

while this is actually the correct behaviour (the top message did not have any attachements besides the encapsulated email that has), it is not the human-expected behaviour. that's why i would suggest to offer an option to save really "all" attahcements or offer (only for emails that contain encapsulated messages) the option to save all attachements inside the encapsulated message clicked on right.
