It works flawlessly and it is open source.
Nice - as long as one has access to an Android phone and FairEmail can get hold of the email, which is not the case for non-standard (M$ Exchange) accounts. As I wrote here 8 years back: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288700#c32 here is a basic workaround I came up with many years before - shame this issue is way too old! Use any tool or editor capable of manipulating the email (header), e.g., the "Header Tools Improved" add-on * Change in the "Content-Type" header entry the "multipart/signed" to "multipart/mixed" and rename the "protocol" parameter, e.g.: replace Content-Type: multipart/signed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-signature"; by Content-Type: multipart/mixed; protocol="application/x-pkcs7-disabled-signature"; Then the email will no more be considered signed and the signature will show up as an additional attachment that can be ignored. Now the email attachments can deleted/detached as usual. -- 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: Triaged 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
