Here's a description of my system: - 64-bit Kubuntu 6.10 with KDE 3.5.5 on an AMD64 single core (beryl running). - Imap server: Cyrus IMAP cyrus-imapd-2.2.8-6.5 on a SuSE-9.2 box. Reproduction of the problem: ============================ 1.- Turn on "load attachments on demand". 2.- Receive an e-mail message on an IMAP account with an attachment. Not all e-mails trigger this problem, but here is part of the source of a message which DOES trigger the problem: ------ CUT HERE ---------- .... (various delivery-path headers) ...

(more base64 code)... ----------- CUT HERE -------------- 3.- Click on e-mail; you'll see just an icon with the file help_en.html.tar.gz. 4.- Right click on e-mail, choose "save as..." (or left-click and open with ark for instance) 5.- Save attachment (or open it). 6.- Attachment is only 153 bytes long (ought to be a few kb though). How to work around the bug: =========================== 1.- Turn off "load attachments on demand". 2.- Repeat from point 2 above. Everything is fine now. Further thoughts: ================= I know this isn't new (there has been a similar bug in version 1.6 or something like that). Obviously it wasn't fixed correctly or this is just a new bug. I have had this problem with a few messages, I thought that once or twice closing and re-starting kmail fixed it (can't remember for sure though). What's suspicious about the e-mail shown above, is that it is basically just an attachment, without a multipart container, but besides that, it looks pretty much ok. 523234 1 mcguire 2007-04-29 19:59:43 +0000 I don't think the load-on-demand setting is the problem here, see bug 143237. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143237 ***
