Description eemantsal 2016-08-11 15:45:51 UTC 
I'm on Kmail 5.2.90 (it isn't listed in the version selection in this form, sorry I have set «Unspecified»), and I've noticed that I can't drag and drop an attached file from Kmail's viewer to a folder in Dolphin, as it was possible before. I know this version isn't the final one, but I think I should put it into developers' knowledge.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on an attached file in Kmails view window and drag it to a Dolphin window to drop it on some folder
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing. You drag your mouse but no action is executed.

Expected Results:  
The file's icon shuold move with the mouse's pointer and once released the mouse's button the typipical popup menu to copy/move should appear and the file should copy to the desired folder.

Ah, sorry, I always do a search before reporting a bug and this time I didn't get any result concerning this issue, or I didn't see it.
Well, I'm glad to read you already have taken it into account. Thank you.

I can confirm that bug for Opensuse Leap 42.2 with Kontact 5.3.0. So I will ask the devs to upgrade Leap 42.2 to 5.4.0. Essentially, it will not accept dragging attachments. Attachments can only be saved via "save-as". But as it is fixed now, this is fine and just a matter of the distro
