KMail uses the original filename as attached. It asks KDE's mimetype 
directory for the type of the file and thus should use the same mime 
type that konqueror reports for the file.

The problem is most likely OE, which thinks it needs to outsmart the 
user and change the extension.

If you didn't change the filename from the file attached, then KMail 
didn't, too.

You can check this by looking at the source of the sent mail in the 
sent-mail folder.

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.1 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

I recently sent a 1-line email with 1 attached .doc file to a colleague using \
Outlook.

I noticed the attachment was tagged as 'text/rtf' 

When my colleague received the mail the attached file was renamed to .txt. As a \
consequence when he tried to open it in Word he got an error. Renaming the file back \
to .doc solved his problem (but not mine, I can't send out .doc files anymore).


I'm not sure whether this is a bug or an interoperability problem (maybe even caused \
by Outlook). But even if it's an interop problem, interop is a major issue for mail \
clients.
