Ok, tested, it's even worst now. If I drag and drop an attachment, I have a .desktop file created with the following content:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Link to ODT Document.odt Type=Link URL=imap://[email protected]:143/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E361?part=1.2&filename=ODT%20Document.odt Icon=text-html The file is not-openable and, even if it were, it's not locally available (and I suppose that the expected behaviour is to have the file available even off-line). If TB is the new "default" MUA for Ubuntu, I think that *this* bug shuold be solved. I am available to test. -- 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/151162 Title: drag n drop attachments is broken Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News: Confirmed Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird Dragging and dropping an attachment produces a draggable icon which, when released to the desktop, disappears. So, it looks like drag n drop is going to work... but it doesn't. Attachments must be saved in other ways (right-click and using open/save dialog box, etc.). Attachments should either not turn into draggable icons, or else drag 'n' drop attachments should actually work.
