Description Janet 2009-07-31 01:06:14 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.96)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Kmail seems to use the smallest available icon size to display the icons for mail attachements.

When the mimetype icon is only available in svg a 256x256 (?) sized icon is displayed, when the icon is available in svg and 128x128 png a 128x128 icon is displayed. Both is too large for both the top and the bottom of the mail.

Expected behaviour, at least from a user's point of view: kmail should always show small attachement icons at the top of the mail (22x22?) and medium symbols at the bottom of the mail (64x64?). If the mimetype icon is not available in that size it should be scaled down to avoid messing up the layout and readabilty of the mails.

The problem still exists with KDE 4.5.3 and kmail 1.13.5 though it now looks a little different. The icon in the mail header that links to the attachment now has the size of the small icons, which is as it should be. But the attachment icon below the mail is huge, really huge.

The icon theme does contain the mimetype icons in all necessary sizes and also as svg. 

I propose that the attachment icons displayed below the mail content follow the size of the desktop icons as set in systemsettings.

Still valid in 4.9 ?
