IT works fine.
but I can test only on linux directly no flatpak
Perhaps it's a problem in kde flatpak support
Comment 2 skraep 2023-02-09 11:06:59 UTC 
Yes, it's only a problem when installed in flatpak. I filed a bug report over there aswell, link is in the description. They wished that  I also open here!
Comment 3 Thiago Sueto 2023-05-05 17:18:30 UTC 
Can confirm.

In fact, the clickable attachment text at the top of the email (next to to, from, date), when clicked, shows this "Open With" window containing only Kontact apps, whereas the bottom section that is especially made for attachments simply doesn't do anything when clicked.

Is KMail doing anything different than what's mentioned in https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/portals.html#portal-support-in-qt-and-kde ?
