Description Gael Beaudoin 2005-01-29 22:53:47 UTC
Version:           3.3.91 (using KDE KDE 3.3.91)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.5 
OS:                Linux

I have lots of email, lots of folders. I often use emails to send and receive files.

It would be very usefull to be able to search for an attached file by its filename.

I know that I can search in the body, or head and it sometimes work. But a real filaname search would be more acurate as you could use joker ( "*", "?" ) and you would only get emails that really contain attached files.

An example : imagine you are looking for a file named "testfile.txt". If you have only few emails that contain "testfile.txt" wheather in the body or as an attached file, it's ok.

But if you have dozens of emails containing "testfile.txt", then the search is likely to be useless.

Hi,

you can use this to find files (for example ):

<message>  contains  filename="Scan0790.pdf" 

but it should be easy to implement this.
Comment 2 Gael Beaudoin 2005-01-29 23:45:06 UTC
Indeed :)

Few months ago, I wrote a small class to read rfc822 based email and I can say that the "filename="Scan0790.pdf"" line isn't always present for a multipart email. So that will not work all the time.

But it's a good idea though, I will do like that until something different is implemented.
Thanks.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
