By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description John A. Sullivan III 2010-10-02 11:22:43 CDT 
This could be user error as I have not used KTNef before however, I read all I could find and Internet searched extensively.  I received an email with a winmail.dat attachment.  Opening it in zimbra showed that it contained an .rtf and a .pdf file.  This was expected as it was an invoice.  The .rtf file contained the email content ("here's your invoice") and the .pdf the actual invoice.

When we opened this with Kontact, it offered to open it with KTNef which we did.  It opened to a blank screen.  If we clicked on display message, we saw the contents of the .rtf file but no trace of the .pdf file.  We thought it might be because it was using a copy of the attachment stored in /tmp which is noexec,nosuid,nodev on our systems so I save the attachment to my home directory and opened it directly in KTNef.  The results was the same.  I see no way to view the .pdf file.

From the Internet searching I did, it appears the attachments should appear in a list within the KTNef window.

Is this report still valid?
Comment 2 Fabio Rossi 2018-11-16 10:47:33 CST 
I confirm a similar problem, in my case it was due to unicode strings not supported by the current code. I am still using a KDE 3.5.10 desktop where I tested the attached patch to add support to unicode strings. The same patch should easily apply on TDE source code too.

The needed code was basically already in place so I don't know why the KDE developers didn't support the unicode strings.

tested the problem also with live CD tde-ubuntu-14.04-desktop-latest-amd64.iso downloaded on 15 Nov 2018.
