Public bug reported: Thunderbird refuses to open attachments from mails opened for editing.
Normally you can open attachments with a double click, either directly with the respecting application or thunderbird will show a window asking to set the application required to open the file. But for mails which are just being edited, the result of a double click on the attachment is different: - though you can still open pictures - double click on doc(x) files just shows a dialog about opening a file named "nsmail.bin" (name does not depend on the attachment's original file name) - double click on pdf files are being ignored (at least there is no reaction) ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619128 Title: won't open attachments from mails opened for editing Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Thunderbird refuses to open attachments from mails opened for editing.
