Version: 3.5.6 "release 41.2" (using KDE 3.5.6 "release 41.2" , openSUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default This is for component kcmfiletypes. By default, the extension *.eml is associated with application/x-mimearchive, along with *.mhtml *.mht, being MIME-encoded web archives. It should rather be message/rfc822. Mozilla MailNews produces files like that when saving/extracting a message from the mailbox store to disk. This is of course a completely different animal from web archives.
See also bug #143040 (not sure if they are the same)
SVN commit 651073 by dfaure: If *.eml is ambiguous (message/rfc822 or application/x-mimearchive) then let's not use that as pattern and let's rely on file contents ("mime magic"). We have magic rules for message/rfc822 already but none for application/x-mimearchive - contributions welcome ;) BUG: 142996 M +1 -1 x-mimearchive.desktop --- branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-mimearchive.desktop #651072:651073 @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Type=MimeType MimeType=application/x-mimearchive Icon=message -Patterns=*.mhtml;*.MHTML;*.mht;*.MHT;*.eml;*.EML +Patterns=*.mhtml;*.MHTML;*.mht;*.MHT Comment=Mime Encapsulated Web Archive Comment[af]=Mimiek Saamgevatte web Argief Comment[bg]=Капсулиран уеб архив
