Description Krzysztof Dubowik 2009-12-22 22:27:24 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

For some senders KMail does not display the mail attachment filenames, but just "Unnamed" even if file name is specified in Content-Disposition.

Here are the headers of the example problem email:

Comment 2 Björn Ruberg 2010-03-10 23:43:19 UTC 
Krzysztof, can you test whether this happens still in KDE 4.4?
Comment 3 Krzysztof Dubowik 2010-09-03 23:00:25 UTC 
Yes, it still happens in 4.4 (Kubuntu 10.04)
Comment 4 Michał Tatarynowicz 2010-10-21 19:26:33 UTC 
In KMail 1.13.5 and KDE 4.5.2 every Message Disposition Notification in my Sent folder displays an Unnamed attachment.
Comment 5 Laurent Montel 2012-08-15 19:43:19 UTC 
Still valid in 4.9 ?
Comment 6 Laurent Montel 2015-04-12 09:55:45 UTC 
Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
