            Bug ID: 366659
           Summary: Inline preview of audiovisual files
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: infmtk at openaliasbox.org

As all of you sure know, the mobile applications interfaces are
"revolutionizing" the way users interact with computers, even if those
computers are small portable ones. One of the interfaces I like a lot is
Telegram's. In Telegram you don't need to leave the app to see online videos
-at least from Youtube, haven't tried other sites-, it will show them within
the app in a reduced size that fits your screen's width. Something similar
happens with audio files: if someone sends you a song you can play it without
leaving TG, it will play and show a tiny bar to pause/resume or stop the
playing. I think Gmail has those functions too (I'm not sure of this for I
don't use Gmail, I'm talking by hearsay)
Well, could this be implemented in Kmail? Of course computer's screen sizes are
bigger than mobiles' and opening a dedicated app when clicking the file is not
so annoying, but it'd be handier, the same way it's handier to see attached
images inline and not need to open Gwenview or whatever similar program. Could
this also be done for attached videos, not only online links? And the same for
audio files: could a basic player be inserted in the mail view to play them?
And last: could this be done also for documents? Sure most people won't be
eager to read long documents in Kmail, but would be rather handy to have a
quick preview of PDF, Epub, ODT...

Reproducible: Always
