           Summary: KMail composer does not pass temp file name to
                    external editor
           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: langec at web.de


Version:           1.12.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-thinkpad-r2

I have an external editor set up for the KMail composer.  It is no longer
invoked properly, so effectively I'm no longer able to use it.  I think this is
not related to the 4.3.0 -> 4.3.1 update, but it only occurred later.

When I press some key in the composer window, a temp file
/tmp/kde-USERNAME/kmail*.tmp is created, but its name is no longer passed to
the external editor application.  I did give the %f in the command line, but it
is not replaced by the name of the file.

I will attach a workaround -- a script that opens my favorite editor with the
file obtained as an argument, or otherwise, the most recent
/tmp/kde-USERNAME/kmail*.tmp.
