Summary: Kmail does not open attachments
Product: kmail
Version: 1.12.1
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
ReportedBy: gilhad at seznam.cz
Version: 1.12.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Gentoo)
Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-gentoo-r5
How to reproduce: start kmail, click on mail with attachement so it is in
preview window, click on attachment (like file.pdf)(left click, or right
click+open with...)
Result: nothing visible, kmail spawns one zombie
Expected result: Open attachement in external application (like xpdf)
Side effect/workaround:
/home/gilhad/.kde4/tmp-COMPNAME/kmaildSOMETHING/file.pdf exists and can be
directly open with xpdf from command line

More details:
I am not running full KDE, but fluxbox. Dbus+HAL are running.

here we see 3 zombies, from 3 unsuccessful attempts to open file.pdf
While i have highlighted the mail, the attachements are stored in subfolders of
/tmp and it is possible to open it from there with any program
the attachements can be View from right mouse click and the result is what is
expected:
[KMail: Attachment contains binary data. Trying to show first 75 characters.]
%PDF-1.4
%âãÏÓ
2 0 obj <</Type/XObject/ColorSpace[/Indexed/DeviceRGB 255(@g
Left click opens dialog "Open attachment 'file.pdf'?
Note that opening an attachment may compromise your system's security." [Save
As] [Open with xpdf] [Cancel]
(Save As works, Open with xpdf does not)
The problem is somewhere along running external applications from KMail, but i
do not know, where to look for more details/logs, or what more configuration is
needed. No error dialogs, nothing in /var/log/syslog.
Please help me and direct me, where to look for more...
