This is most likely because of “Content-Disposition: inline”: this is not an
attachment! The program that composed the mail is saying: “You should display
this inline.” Of course for a pdf, this is going to be difficult (perhaps the
Apple MUA can?) It is entirely like inline jpegs in html mail. But now, instead
of a jpeg, there is a pdf. I guess it's entirely correct MIME.

My take is that kmail should treat inline MIME parts that it cannot display as
attachments.

Could you save such a mail, remove any personal info from it, and attach it
here?
If the developers get to this bug, that would be convenient.
