However, I can no longer open messages from Dolphin (or the command line). I get the error "The file or folder file:/path/to/file does not exist." However, if I do Kmail > File > Open > /path/to/file then the file opens. This is much more cumbersome and I don't understand why it works while the command line version fails. Help? I'm using kmail2 5.0.2 on Kubuntu 15.10 and KDE 5.4.2

And I'm being told the next version (15.12) will have it fixed. "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." Plasma FAQ maintainer - Plasma programming with Python
