Kmail (Kontact) - Attachment problem...
« on: September 20, 2010, 07:04:54 AM »
Hello All,

This issue has existed for quite a while now with newer versions of kmail/kontact.  (about the last 3-4 months)

Issue is this:  Kmail incoming mail tiff attachments will not open directly with okular.  Every time I try to open the attachment, I get the "which program do you want to open this file" dialog and have to type in "okular" "ENTER" to open the attachment.

However, if I forward the attachment or copy to to another mail for sending, I can open it directly in okular without seeing this dialogue.

I have tried many many many times to click "always open this filetype with this program" but it doesn't work.

The strange thing is, for a short time (about 3 weeks ago for a week only) this problem corrected itself.  But now, it is no good again.

Any ideas???  Or should I just club the kontact/kmail developers???

Thanks.
