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 -- Temporary attachment files created by KMail cannot be opened by MS Office https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
