Confirming bug still exists in KDE 4.2.2.

Comment 3 Martin Koller 2009-09-05 11:18:17 UTC

I can not reproduce with 4.3.1, but probably my test is wrong.
Can you attach a mail here, which is of type "message/rfc822" and shows up on your kmail as "application/x-mimearchive", please ?

Comment 6 Tristan Miller 2009-09-06 18:06:13 UTC

OK, done.

Comment 7 Martin Koller 2009-09-06 19:53:24 UTC

OK, I found out: If you attach a file whose file ending is ".eml" it will be seen as type "application/x-mimearchive".
If the file has no or a different extension, the type will be seen as "application/mbox".
I don't see a bug here.
You could work around this by modifying your file associations.
