mailcap question

[Tim Wunder]

There is a similar issue with opening files with external applications in 
kmail such that if you click on a message other than the one with the 
attachement, kmail deletes the temporary file. This is only a problem with 
slow-loading apps (like OOo.) In order to view a Word doc attached to an 
e-mail in Kmail with OOo, you must click on the file, wait for OOo to open 
it, then move on to another mail.

WAG(version 2): Mutt deletes the file from /tmp before swriter gets to it.
