Description quin 2004-02-27 12:48:32 UTC
Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.2.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB-athlon

It is a good thing that kmail displays a warning when opening attachments. However, there is a case when this mechanism is not enough.

Sometimes mail-servers remove attachments which are considered too large from the message and offer a download URL instead.
This can look like this:

The attachment 'foobar.doc' was removed from this mail, but
may be accessed at this URL (approx. 4321KB):
http://server.where.the.attachment.is.stored.com/attachmentxyz.doc

Clicking on this link will NOT display the warning you would get if the attachment was delivered with the message.

There should be an option to show a warning for all links as well as attachments.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
