Bug 172388

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When saving attachments from emails sent from Outlook, KMail includes the quotes from the attachment description in the filename. Outlook adds the attachment as per the attached screenshot, with the attachment filename  in quotes, then the description as the filename with no quotes. Here is an example of the relevant headers from the Outlook email:

Content-Type: application/msword;
	name="#2782339-v1-Southern_Expressway_RS485_Wiring_Audit_-_July_2008.DOC"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Description: #2782339-v1-Southern_Expressway_RS485_Wiring_Audit_-_July_2008.DOC
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=
	"#2782339-v1-Southern_Expressway_RS485_Wiring_Audit_-_July_2008.DOC"

When saving the attachment from KMail, it encloses the destination filename in quotes by default. This breaks kde's filetype associations due to the fact that the filename extension now includes a double quote e.g. KMail saves test.doc as "test.doc" - KDE then sees the document extension as .doc" and does not recognise the file type. 

This may well be due to Outlook's handling of attachment filenames (I haven't read the relevant RFC to see if it is compliant).

The workaround is to delete the quotes from KMail's Save As... dialog before saving the file, however it would be better if KMail stripped the quotes from the beginning and end of the filename automatically. Could this be added please, at least as a configurable option? We already have Outlook compatibility options for sending emails and invitations, so it shouldn't be too hard to add an option for receiving attachments also.
