--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Marten <jjm at keelhaul.me.uk> ---
The console messages above are from kioexec, which was a fix implemented a long
time ago for bug 130709.  kioexec sleeps for 180 seconds after starting the
application but before removing the temporary file, so that if the application
forks and the parent returns immediately the file will not be removed before
the child application has the chance to open it.

If you wait for 3 minutes after opening the attachment, then you will find that
kmail exits correctly.

The question, therefore, is why kmail is waiting for the opening of the
attachment to finish - it should launch it in a separate background process.
