Summary: Allow remote files for custom folder icons           Product: kmail          \
Version: unspecified          Platform: SuSE RPMs        OS/Version: Linux            \
Status: UNCONFIRMED          Severity: wishlist          Priority: NOR         \

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
KMail will not allow the user to select a remote file for a custom folder icon.  \
However, I can't think of any good reason for this restriction.  Other KDE \
applications, such as amaroK, allow the user to select remote files for album \
thumbnails.  Why can't KMail just fetch the remote file, resize it, and store it in a \
local cache?  Or is this perhaps a limitation of the icon selector component?  If the \
latter, this bug should be moved to the appropriate application (kfile component of \
kio, perhaps?). To reproduce:1. Right-click on a folder2. Click on "Properties".  \
Properties dialog pops up.3. Check "Use customs icon" box.4. Click on the "Normal" or \
"Unread" icon button. "Select Icon" dialog pops up.5. Click the "Other icons" radio \
button.6. Click "Browse…". Open dialog pops up.7. In the "Location" input field, \
enter a remote URL, such as <http://bugs.kde.org/img/konqi.gif>8. Click "Open". The \
following error dialog pops up:  Remote Files Not Accepted - KMail
    [!] You can only select local files.
