Can confirm this behaviour on 4.2.2 (Kubuntu) that all attachments are opened
read-only. It's more noticeable with OpenOffice docs as that prevents you from
even editing the file once opened (without giving any warning) until it is
re-saved.

Saying that the request to allow RW and then warn on shutdown sounds like a
feature request (wishlist?) and it sounds like a fairly big job. Is the
suggestion to pop up a box(es) for each file that has been changed and require
a save-to location from the user on shutdown of Kmail?

Its a shame there is no way to tell the opening app to treat the file as
'unsaved' so when attempting to save it behaves as if it is a new document.
