Version: 1.6.1 (using KDE 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204, compiled sources) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22 I received an email which contains a .rar file. The icon used for displaying the attachment does show the "unknown" icon (a large questionmark), but when I save the file e.g. in /tmp, open /tmp in konqueror, I then see the correct icon for the filetype. Also, when clicking on that file, kmail asks to open this file with "Ark" (so it seems kmail _can_ detect the filetype) I assume this is due to the fact, that the mail itself states that the attachment is Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="Entwurf_5_1.rar" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Still, kmail should also use the same mechanisms as konqueror to detect the icon/filetype to show.
Reported as bug 35836 for KDE 2.2, patch supplied there. Closed as FIXED, but the fix is not in KDE 3.2.1 or CVS.
