[Bug 70981] Re: OO attachment won't open in Kmail

[Matthew Carpenter]

I believe this has to do with the hand-off from Kmail to OOo, to the
component of OOo handling the attachment.  Kmail hands off to OOo, and
when OOo exits (or the file is not opened? - lsof style), it deletes the
file in /tmp.  While this is a fine approach for most apps, OOo probably
does some internal hand-off which delays loading of the temporary
attachment.  Kmail deletes the file, thinking that it's job is done, but
the OOo component app never had a chance to open it.

This has been an issue for some time.  Can we get it resolved?  Kmail
should either hand off to a different component, or (mo betta) figure
out the timing issue and wait a little longer before deleting it, or
track usage better.
