Description of problem:If an email received in kmail contains a url then clicking it does not open correctly in the browser Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):kdepim-3.5.5-0.1.fc6 How reproducible:Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an email containing a web link such as http://tomshardware.co.uk/2002/09/04/building_your_own_pc/index.html 2. Click the link within the mail 3. Normally this will open Konquerer but although it opens Konqueror the location var shows that the file file:///var/tmp/kdecache-mike/krun/3050.0.index.html has been opened instead of the correct link 4) Change file association by going to Control Centre->KDE components->File Associations and under text->html change to firefox instead of Konqueror 5) Now try again - this time Firefox Opens but again the location goes to a file in the kdecache area and not to the original url. Actual results: Browser opens but the url is to a local kdecache file and not the original url. Expected results:The browser should open in the original url correctly. Additional info:FC6 clean install, kde running and Kontact running otherwise without problems. This issue was also present in FC5 for a long time and never addressed.
This does not seem specific to Kmail; I've noticed that this happens often in Amarok as well. If has many places to click which open URLs in an external browser, and these often fail in the same manner. (Yes, I know Amarok is in extras and indeed I could be seeing something specific to Amarok which conicidentally has the same behavior as the Kmail problem reported, but I doubt it.)
