Title:
  Evince can't open plaintext attachments.

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  PDF allows attaching arbitrary files to PDF files.
  Right-clicking onto an attachment's icon and saving the file, opening it manually works, but left-clicking doesn't work because evince will save the file to /tmp and start the preferred application automatically, this doesn't work:
    apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/evince" name="/usr/bin/gedit" pid=9128 comm="evince" requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

  A workaround is (as root)
    # echo "/usr/bin/gedit ixr," >> /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.evince
    # service apparmor reload
  But of course image attachments still don't work etc.

  Maybe the list of allowed applications evince can start to show
  attachments should include a useful list of other audited
  applications.

  (Or should this be an evince bug?)
