Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
If a user has been sent an OpenOffice document and they open it from the source
email, it is all too common for them to edit it and click Save.
When they come back later (especially after a reboot), the file is nowhere to
be found because it was (from thunderbird's point of view) only ever a temp
file.
Accordingly, it would be useful if thunderbird wrote temporary files in
such a way as to make them read-only from applications' perspectives -
ie remove the write bit.
This way, when the user wants to edit the document they will be forced
into putting it somewhere else (ie their home directory).
** Affects: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu)
Importance: Wishlist
Status: Unconfirmed
** Changed in: mozilla-thunderbird (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

when opening an attachment, it should be written to tmp as a read-only file
