Description Jonathan Marten 2001-12-06 10:08:14 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:kmail
Version:1.3 (KDE 2.2)
Severity:wishlist

If a mail message contains attachments whose MIME type (taken from the
message part's Content-Type) is not known the attachment is displayed
with the "unknown" type icon.  In this case KMail could look at the
attachment filename and try to get a known MIME type from that then
display the appropriate icon.

This change is not just cosmetic but useful too - showing the correct
icon will indicate to the user the application that will (normally) be
used to open the attachment without having to click on the attachment
to find out.  I don't believe there is any security risk in doing
this: looking up the MIME type from the file name involves only
parsing not reading any local files.

Patch for KDE 2.2 (also applies to KDE 2.2.2):

Comment 1 Jonathan Marten 2001-12-12 15:12:21 UTC
Just noticed that the original patch doesn't display the correct icon
for attachments whose MIME type is unknown and where using the
attachment name doesn't yield a known MIME type either - it shows as a
folder.  This new patch only uses the file name to generate an icon if
it actually corresponds to a known type.

The additional modification to kmreaderwin.cpp makes another cosmetic
change to suppress the attachment 'comment' if it is the same as the
'label' (often happens with attachments from CDE's dtmail).  Otherwise
the same text is pointlessly shown twice (one clickable the other
not).

Comment 2 Jonathan Marten 2005-04-26 18:10:30 UTC
Closed as fixed, but the problem is still present in KDE 3.4 (KMail 1.8).
Updated patch against KDE 3.4 sources attached, along with a test case message that demonstrates both problems.

Can confirm with KDE-3.5.5; it's also duplicate with    77898
