(Get the code!)
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.
