Description Milko Krachounov 2009-02-15 22:09:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I can't seem to bne able to open .tar.gz archives attached to mails by clicking them in KMail/Kontact. What happens:

1. I click foo.tar.gz that is attached to a mail I received or sent.
2. A temporary file foo.tar_[bar].gz  is created and opened with Ark
3. Ark believes this is a binary file named foo.tar_[bar] compressed with gzip, and not a gzipped tar archive, so it doesn't see the files inside the archive, and therefore you can't extract them
Comment 1 Jaime Torres 2009-02-18 17:03:09 UTC 
Confirmed, bit the temporary file, in my case, is foo.tar.gz_[xxxx].gz

SVN commit 935825 by marten:

Use KMimeType::extractKnownExtension() when linking an attachment file
to open, so that it will use the intended file association. 

For example, open a .tar.gz attachment as a .tar.gz file, not as a .gz
