Version: Version 1.6.51 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) OS: Linux Whenever I get a message with a winmail.dat (TNEF) attachment, KMail shows me this: BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//K Desktop Environment//NONSGML libkcal 3.2//EN VERSION:2.0 END:VCALENDAR and nothing else. It appears that KMail assumes that every winmail.dat attachment has an ical meeting request in it, even if it doesn't. I usually get them from people using Microsoft rich text to compose messages. It's annoying, 'cause you have to go to the mime tree and find the proper body part. See attachment for example message.
Created attachment 5663 [details] Message with winmail.dat attachment
Confirmed with message with subject "KOrganizer and meetings with attendees" to kde-pim on april 29th.
Well, um, technically they could be different problems I guess. Adriaan's problem is that whenever there's an ical, it thinks it is an invitation, whereas my problem is that it always thinks that a winmail.dat has an ical in it (which it then forces on you, triggering Adriaan's problem ;-)
Created attachment 6032 [details] Patch fixing the parsing of non-meeting tnef attachments
Bug #73951 is similar.
Created attachment 6220 [details] Patch superseeding earlier non-functional 'fix' After a discussion on kmail-devel it was decided to disable the handling of tnef attachments for 3.3. Ingo attempted to do as much, but his fix (objecttreeparser.cpp rev 1.105) didn't work for me. This patch does.
Can somebody with enough mojo please confirm this bug so I can close it? It's fixed. Thank you.
It's fixed -> closing. Jan: you can close bugs but not confirm them? that's a bit strange; shall I check your bugzilla permissions?
David: any reporter can close his own bugs
I know. But now I also know what happened: Jan's email address changed. The bug reporter is jan@devisser-siderius.com, but he's now jdevisser@digitalfairway.com.
