I wonder how clever KDE is about the network.  When you configured KDE, did 
you do it on the machine running KDE, or the one running KMAIL.  I would 
not be shocked if KMAIL looked at the local KDE config to decide what to 
launch.  And I wouldn't be shocked if it used the remote one, either.  Try 
whichever one you didn't do, yet.

Really I think it should be both.  You use http to download the file and 
the MIME type to decide what program to display it with.  But I think that 
KDE always uses the same internal transport mechanism to download, then 
checks the MIME type.
