            Bug ID: 318556
           Summary: kmail does not remember the applications used to open
                    attachments
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.9.5
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: shawn.peterson at gmx.com

When opening an attachment, kmail gives the option to "remember" the settings. 
After I check this, it "updates the system", and then opens the appropriate
application with the attachment.  However, it does not actually update the
system.  I have to point it to the application everytime I get a similar
extension.

Specifically, I get sound files (.wav) which I open with Dragon.  But, it does
not remember the settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on attachment.
2.Select appropriate application with which to open attachment and select
"remember application associated with this file type".
3. Clicking on the attachment again will result in the same dialogue.
Actual Results:  
Program never remembers settings.

Expected Results:  
Kmail should automatically load said applicaiton

On a hunch, I checked the "file associations" settings in the kde system
settings, and Dragon Player is indeed set as the default to open .wav files. 
The next two underneath Dragon Player are Clementine and Amarok, respectively. 
However, Kmail does not seem to know this.

Running Kubuntu 12.10.
