Thank you for your bug report.
If you edit the signature path directory, could you check if `journalctl
-f` lists apparmor denial errors when trying to write an email?
I would guess that the path is blocked by the snap sandboxing. If you
use the fileselector then it goes through xdg portal which gives the
other location but mention, but indeed that's a local path generated by
the portal and not going to work on another machine (and probably not on
the same after restarting either...)

Title:
signature stored on a nfs share not working with the snap
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
We work in workspace with changing pcs. (home folders are in the network)
We migrated from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop to Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Desktop.
We use thunderbird 128.1.0esr-1 through snap.
Our signature all lie on an nfs mount (/var/nfs/oeffentlich/emailsignaturen/)
(fstab: nfs.mydomain:/var/nfs /var/nfs nfs4
_netdev,default), where everybody as read access (drwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nogroup
5,3K Aug 28 09:27 emailsignaturen).
After the update, Thunderbird no longer pointed to
"/var/nfs/oeffentlich/emailsignaturen/mysignature.html"
but to "/home/myuser/var/nfs/oeffentlich/emailsignaturen/mysignature.html".
Correcting this to "/var/nfs/oeffentlich/emailsignaturen/mysignature.html" by
directly editing the text, did not show an error, but the signature wasn't
shown.
Using the file open dialog and selecting
"/var/nfs/oeffentlich/emailsignaturen/mysignature.html" Thunderbird / snap
changed the link to:
"/run/user/2087/doc/e967c83e/mysignature.html"
Now the signature is shown, but only as long as I'm on the same pc.
When switching to another PC the linked file isn't there and I again have no
signature.
No clue, whether this is a thunderbird or snap issue, but this is really a
pain!
Would be nice if this could be fixed.
