Hi,

This temp files in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/tmp also have the problem that 
they remain there for the case KMail exits abnormally. Today I removed 500k 
of temp files from about 30 KMail PIDs. Not that much memory, but for people 
who get messages with bigger attachments than I usually get that could become 
much more.
When the user has a small quota set these files could waste valueable space. 
Even for me, today was the first time, I saw all these files.

When KTempfile is used the files also stay in the /tmp dir after a crash but 
there they are usually cleaned out by the system when they are too old.

KMail should not crash very often of course.
To be changed after KDE 2.0 I guess.

Regards,
Michael Häckel

PS: Sorry for sometimes not replying, but I didn't get for example the mail 
Daniel sent today regarding that subject. Therefore I got some other mails 
five times :-(
