Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

KMail creates temporary files with template  NAME_[XXX].EXTENSION when
user opens an attahcnment.

Microsoft Office 2003 cannot open files with name containing '[' or ']'
symbols. So user cannot open xls or doc attachments from KMail via
installed MS Office (yes, I know that most people does not use MS Office
in Ubuntu).

I suggests to remove '[' and ']' symbols from temporary attachment file 
template. 
Both KDE 3.5.x and 4.x ara affected.
Patch for 8.04 is available.

** Affects: kdepim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
