           Summary: kmail opens attachments RO and saves attachements RO
                    which is hugely annoying and should be an option
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: dav1dblunk3tt hotmail com


Version:           3.5.7. release 72.4 but all versions since 2004 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

The permissions set by kmail on temporary files should be user definable - instead they have been hard wired to RO for some time and this is hugely annoying.

Basically when you open an attachement it is saved as a temp file with RO perms - historically this was to prevent newbies from losing files they edited and saved and were then subsequently clean by kmail on exit.

kmail should also check for changes on exit and only clean files that haven't changed - warning about others.

This is distinct from bug 79685
