Bug#412629: kmail: intermittently truncates attachments from IMAP server
Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.5.dfsg.1-6
Severity: important
This intermittent failure occurs with kmail reading from a dovecot imap server.
The problem messages can be safely read, and the attachments read using icedove
1.5.0.9.dfsg1-1
When I get a problem message, closing and re-starting kmail will not fix the
problem.
Clicking on the attachment brings up the "Open attachment" dialogue box.
I choose for example, "open with kpdf" (this problem has occurred for .pdf and
.doc files, open with openoffice). kpdf starts, then puts up an error message
"Could not open file:///tmp/kde-king/bulletin.pdf_[qdL6qa].pdf". The file in
/tmp is actually there, but only 27 bytes long. Right clicking and choosing
"save as" also produces a 27 byte long file.
