Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 0.8-3
Severity: minor
Hi Alex,
I just noticed that when selecting email attachments, if you select a
symlink, Thunderbird will follow the symlink and call the attachment by the
name of the real file (not the name of the symlink).
To reproduce:
Open the Compose window, select "Attach", select (for instance)
viewglob_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz, which happens to be a symlink to
viewglob-1.0.1.tar.gz, and click Open. The name of the attached file is
listed in the upper right of the Compose window as "viewglob-1.0.1.tar.gz".
The expected behavior would be for it to be named
"viewglob_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz".
This may be related to a similar symlink bug in Mozilla Firefox, reported at
http://bugs.debian.org/221870 .

I know there is a lot of time passed by and your bugreport is long ago.
But the bug ist still open.
Do you still have this behavior in the actual versions (that I can't
really belive)? Hopefully not. Infact of the age I close the bug.
Please open a new bugreport if you have problems with the new versions.
Regards
Carsten
