I tried to "clean" some (actually many) of my e-mails (I wanted to keep the text while reducing the file size by deleting the attachments) and this still seems to be a big problem after 16 years (!)... as I use TB in a corporate environment, many of the e-mails are signed and thus they become blank when deleting the attachment (the text ist still there when exporting to .eml and using some text editor to read them, but alas, that's not the way to read an archived email :)...
Is there a possibility that somebody fixes this and somehow makes it possible that the text is still readable and - as suggested before - a message appears with something like "The digital signature has been removed from this message because the attachment was removed, thus altering the e-mail."? -- 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/303140 Title: No more "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" for attachments Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: Confirmed Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird After receiving an email with more than one attachment, I have to open/detach/save them one by one, cause "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" in the GUI are not available This happens since version 2.0.0.18 1) Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Release: 8.04 User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (X11/20081125) MIME-Version: 1.0 2) Package: Linux-Mint 5 3) "Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" available when right- klicking on an attachment 4 )"Save all" / "detach all" / "delete all" greyed out, so not available ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Nov 28 11:34:16 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: wl fglrx Package: mozilla-thunderbird 2.0.0.18+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux 2.6.24-21-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/303140/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
