We intentionally disabled file: some time ago for security reasons and 
because we didn't consider local links in a mail useful.
Otherwise it might be too easy possible to execute a possibly dangerous local 
command with a single click. Maybe in text mails that does not happen that 
easy, since the users sees the real URL, but at least in HTML mail that is 
more dangerous, since the displayed string and the URL can differ very much.

has caused the attached bug report to be marked as done.

This means that you claim that the problem has been dealt with.
If this is not the case it is now your responsibility to reopen the
bug report if necessary, and/or fix the problem forthwith.

(NB: If you are a system administrator and have no idea what I'm
talking about this indicates a serious mail system misconfiguration
somewhere.  Please contact me immediately.)

Subject: kmail URL reference "file:" not "recognised"
From: remko@deos.tudelft.nl

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.2 (using KDE 2.1.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 6.9.2
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-78)
OS:                Linux 2.4.2-0.1.36smp i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

When using an http: or ftp: reference in a mail it is recognised as a URL, is \
highlighted and is clickable. However, not so with file:

Maybe this also the case with some other URL references.

Should be implemented in next version.
