Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When I get an email with a xyz.xhtml attachment and I click on it to open it, konqueror tries to open: /tmp/kde-user/xyz.html_[some numbers and letters].xhtml The latter fails because the file is neither saved in that directory, nor with that name! The file is saved, without alteration of the filename, in /tmp/kde-user/kontact some numbers and letter/filename

I just tested this and can confirm this with branch and HEAD. KRun deletes the file too early but I can only reproduce this for html files. Does anybody have an idea what might be wrong here? Carsten

It only happens with HTML (and zip/tgz) because the viewer (kfmclient or ark) returns before opening the file. I'll implement the solution suggested by Waldo when I have time (probably next week).
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if the file is saved in /tmp/kde-user/kontact some numbers and letter/filename anyway, why is it not used? Or does this file serve another purpose and should not be used as temp-file?

Or does this file serve another purpose and should not be used as temp-file? It is deleted too soon. Please don't make me lose time explaining the whole story, I better spend that time on fixing the bug :)
You do not have to explain it to me, I just want to make sure that my bug report is well understood. As there are two files created, one in /tmp/kde-user/ and one in /tmp/kde-user/kontact I guess that the one in /tmp/kde-user is a link to the one in /tmp/kde-user/kontact, otherwise it would not make sense to me to create two temporary files for the same attachement if only one is needed. Anyway, as long as this gets fixed, I do not need any explanation! ;)

Yes, one is used by the reader window, the other by the launched application. Both are needed, since the reader window *or* the launched application might be done with the file first.
