KMail works fine for me with nearly all attachments. If the attachment is a *.zip file and I double click on it, ark opens but with the message it is read only. If I try to open e.g. the *.mpg file in the zip it doesn't work. If I save the zip file first ark also works fine.
Any idea how I can use ark with kmail directly. Is this a bug and can anybody reproduce this?
I don't think this is a bug. But this is what I have noticed when using attachments from kmail: When you open an attachment, it is temporarily copied to a temp directory (in /tmp I think). It may be copied as read-only. The attachment remains there until you close the email or select another email for viewing in the previous pane. If you view an mpg from inside that zip file, do not change the email that is in focus. The attachment should remain valid until you select another email. I use the preview pane, so I don't usually open the email into a separate window. Hope this helps, Alvin -- Please reply to the mailing list.
