           Summary: drag-and-drop attachment to file manager doesn't save
                    it
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: messageviewer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk


Version:           KMail
Version 1.12.90
Using KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.3.68 (KDE 4.4 >= 20090907)) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Dragging and dropping an attachment from the message preview or a message
viewer window, to a Dolphin or Konqueror file manager window, doesn't save the
attachment as would be expected.  The only drop option presented is "Link Here"
(along with "Cancel"), selecting this options creates a file named something
like "attachment:3?place=body.desktop" with the contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=unknown
Name=attachment:3?place=body
Type=Link
URL[$e]=attachment:3?place=body

The message

konqueror(12842)/libkonq KonqOperations::doDrop: URL:
KUrl("attachment:5?place=body")

is printed on stderr.

Dragging the attachment from the message structure viewer correctly saves the
attachment, the "Copy Here" drop operation is shown as would be expected.  The
corresponding stderr message is

konqueror(12842)/libkonq KonqOperations::doDrop: URL:
KUrl("file:///tmp/kde-jjm4/kmailu13052.6/leo.JPG")
