Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux docx attachements are not opened correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Receive an email with a docx file attached. Click on it, and pick "open with libreoffice" from the dialogue. Actual Results: The file is opened with ark Expected Results: the file is opened with libre office
It's not a kmail problem it's a kdelibs pb.
What is the mimetype written out inside the email headers? What does "kmimetypefinder foo.docx" return for you? And if libre office doesn't have the right mimetypes in its desktop file, then that's actually a libreoffice issue.
kmimetypefinder Mönchengladbach_10.11.11.docx application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document (accuracy 100) I thought that kmail did already pick the correct appp since if you click on an attachment the dialoge that opens has "save as" "open with libre office" "open with…" "cancel". Opening the file from dolphin does work as expected.
You skipped the first question, the one about the mail headers. But you're right, I hadn't noticed that in your description, the app name on the button is actually correct... Very weird. Can you forward me the email, maybe? (As an attachment)
Sorry for skipping that bit. If it's avoidable I would like to not forward that email since its content is confidential. I could create a test mail with some docx file though if the headers are not enough.

text/plain is probably the text body of the email. The attachment is further down. I should have said "MIME headers of the attachment" rather than "mail headers", my bad. Yes, you can also just email me a test .docx file, but your kmail might do the right thing so it might just work. Well, we'll see :)
the same happens when opening docs files from archives with ark
