Description Alexandre Bonneau 2025-06-21 07:52:28 UTC 
SUMMARY
Currently, when opening temporary files from any emails, the attachement is saved in `/tmp/messageviewer_attachement_<code>`.
After a moment, the /tmp folder can display quite a lot of those folders.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Just use Kmail and open a few mail with attachements
2. Check the /tmp folder

OBSERVED RESULT
Lots of `/tmp/messageviewer_attachement_<code>` folders displayed

EXPECTED RESULT
It would be more 'clean' to create all those temporary folder inside `/tmp/kmail/messageviewer_attachement_<code>`, so that when browsing /tmp you do not see a wall of temp folders

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 4:6.3.5-1
