           Summary: MIME type should be determined by file extension when
                    attachment is application/octet-stream
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla-kde at bwurst.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

There are lots of e-mail-senders out there that specify
application/octet-stream as MIME type for all attachments they send, regarless
of the true file type.

KMail now cannot see what to do with this file and does not offer any preferred
application. 

In case of PDF files, I always have to select okular manually when receiving
such messages. But the file extension is .pdf, so KMail should guess the MIME
type according to the file extension when no usable MIME type is specified by
the sender.
