Summary: emacs or save are the only options for attachment
handling
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
ReportedBy: drankina...@suddenlinkmail.com
Version: (using KDE 4.2.98)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
When a bash script is received as an attachment to an email in kmail, the only
options presented to the user after clicking on the attachment are to "open
with 'emacs'" (what? are you kidding) or save. There is no option to open in
another editor despite the "Advanced Embedded Editor" (kate) being set in
default applications.
The easiest way to send new users running back to windows or gnome is to have
them open anything in emacs. kmail should respect the "default application"
setting and at least default to opening text attachments in kate or kwrite.
kmail should also let the user choose what application or editor to open the
attachment with. Presenting emacs as the only default choice is a huge bug.
Heck presenting the user with 'vim' would at least be kinder.
So here, kmail needs to provide a drop down allowing the user to choose the
application *with* the "Browse..." option also provided since kmail doesn't
keep track of all text editors installed. Certainly change the default to
anything other than emacs.
