Ok, we're not talking about the same thing, but both I guess are not what 
we're experiencing at the moment. The thing you describe happens when calling 
kprinter /tmp/some-email.msg. The error dialog you see appears because 
kprinter sees that it is not a plain/text file but something special. It does 
not find a default filter and therefore asks. But KMail (and Konqueror) IMHO 
don't give plain files to kprinter but some formatted output, I think 
postscript. Otherwise your KMail printed emails wouldn't have those extra 
fields showing sender and recipient.

As I described above, the message you see is a special case of calling 
kprinter and therefore not a bug. I think that there would be a major bug 
like broken printing in allover KDE 3.2 RC1 it wouldn't be an "RC" and there 
would be a number of bugreports, already. 

Have fun
