I try to integrate KDE with mozilla so I can select a file (or files) from
konqueror and send them with Mozilla-Composer. I'have read:
http://www.mozilla.org/quality/browser/front-end/testcases/cmd-line/
and 
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/command-line-args.html#Syntax_Rules
an I think I'm doing it right (please correct me if I'm wrong).

mozilla -compose "to=[e-mail],attachment='file:///home/me/foo.bar'"

It shows the composer window, in foreground (maybe another bug?) and everything
seems OK. But sending the message fails with a pop-up window error saying
something like (translated from catalan to english by myself):
     Failed to send the email.
     Can't open temporal file %.200s. Check the parameter "temporal folder" and
try again.

Could not find anything similar to "temporal folder" in email preferences... am
I wrong here?

My user can write to /tmp and there are about 4GB free.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open terminal
2. Run mozilla -compose
"to=[e-mail],attachment='file:///home/jo/renta04.ica'"
3. Send email.

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Send email with the attached file.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
