Sorry for the rant . I am using the latest kmail/kontact Etch, 1.9.5,
KDE 3.5.5, updated a couple of days ago, kdelibs updated today. If I
click on an attachment for a filtered/archived email I get /tmp... does
not exist. If I do a save as I can go to the saved location and it
works. No lost data but not an optimal solution.
Addendum it doesn't happen on all filtered emails ?? Just the most
important one :-)
Addendum 2, now it works like it is supposed to. Sorry for the noise.
