            Bug ID: 390002
           Summary: Message viewer: attached .doc file is shown as
                    encrypted
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc

Screen shot 1 - Initial message preview display

When a message is received that has a .doc file (or multiple such files)
attached, they are initially shown in the message preview as encrypted (see
screen shot 1).  Note that they are shown as such in the message body, but are
shown in their unencrypted form with correct file names in the message header.

Clicking on the "Decrypt Message" action link does not prompt for any further
information but simply displays the attachment as expected, see screen shot 2.

Clicking on either the attachment shown after "decryption", or the original
attachment from the header, opens it in LibreOffice as expected.

Double clicking on the message (to open it in a separate viewer window) does
not show this problem, the attachments are shown as expected.

The .doc file does not have to be from Microsoft Word, a file created in
LibreOffice does the same.  I have not observed this happening with anything
other than .doc files.

A test case is attached; neither the message nor the attached document contain
any personal information.  Opening the .eml file in the KMail View will show
the same behaviour.

This is using KMail with a single POP3 fetching account and no encryption or
signing in use.  Headers are set to "Fancy Headers", attachment display is set
to "As Icons".
