Description Lars DIECKOW 2007-03-16 05:24:08 UTC

Version:           1.9.6 (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 41.2" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.2-34-default

This is related to bug 142996 and bug 142997.

KMail should register itself to handle types application/mbox (*.mbox) and message/rfc822 (*.eml) in the KDE MIME types database. Launching such a file from e.g. Konqueror would then open KMail and display the mbox or mail message.
