Well Igor, in my opinion it is. The only thing the temporary html file does is
set up the username and password and redirect to the online inbox. Many people
won't even know what happens behind the scenes and would expect the inbox to
open in their preferred browser, not in their preferred HTML file application.
I can think of situations where people would assign a non-browser application
for opening local HTML files, for instance a text-editor.

Asking these people to change their file associations without them knowing why
would be annoying I believe. Explaining why they would have to change their
file association would result in a large message box no-one reads. Another
issue is that changing the file associations in KDE isn't exactly a
user-friendly process and could easily result in misconfigured systems for
people who don't know what they are doing.

Regards,
Pieter.
