 I think, you cat fix this only via patching sources. When you open mail
 attachment, KMail extracts it from message body and saves it to tmp dir in
 order to other apps can open it.

Sure, but unless I am mistaken I recall that in the past it would strip 
the /tmp extension from the file name when asked where to save it, after it 
has been opened using another application like e.g. OpenOffice.
