We could potentially use the the following implementation: When building the list of right-click-menu actions, we currently check for the signature content type. If we find it, we disable the delete/detach attachment actions.
A suggested enhanced implementation, with a minimal UI change, could do the following: When we detect the signature content-type, we change the wording of the menu command to "remove message signature and delete/detach". When the user selects that, the simplest implementation could do a two-phase action. In a first step, we transform the message content-type. I'd suggest to go through all of the message, and replace all content-types that start with multipart/signed with multipart/mixed (reusing the suggested stragegy from the earlier comments). I think it would be sufficient to simply leave the additional attributes in place. So the first step loads the message, changes the content-type everywhere in the message, the replaces the message in storage. Then, as a second step, we call the existing code to delete/detatch the attachment. If we can find a simple way to do step 1, this might be rather straightforward to implement. -- 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
