i just helped a friend running enigmail 1.8.2 who had trouble opening or viewing any attachments in encrypted mail. they appeared to be zero-bytes in size.
The problem was resolved by looking in the thunderbird config editor to
note that extensions.enigmail.autoDecrypt was set to 'false'. clearing
the setting (going back to the default of 'true') made the attachments
all work fine.
i was surprised to see that the "autoDecrypt" setting didn't seem to be
accessible from the user interface anywhere. This made it especially
hard to debug.
if the autoDecrypt functionality is causing this kind of problem, and if
we decide it's not worth allowing the user to configure it, we should
strip out the code that uses that setting. Is there a reason to keep
it?
