Description Jonas Thorell 2010-05-07 23:02:10 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I ran into a problem in Kontact today. I needed to find pdf I was mailed several years ago, and I'm not sure exactly who e-mailed it to me (except that it was someone from work, which narrows it down to about a 100 people...) nor the exact time-frame.

It is possible to search the e-mail database for e-mails containing one or several attachments, but would it be possible in a future version to add something like Attachment type:" and select what document type you want to find?

It is at the moment even impossible just to search for a filename of an attachment, which is really annoying as you have to export all attachments to a folder and search then for the file. The implementation should be easy as the search wizards already exist. Id would make the usage of kmail a lot more fun !!

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
