I can confirm this as well. This appears to be in the message sending code. I would not be surprised if saving drafts also triggers these files as saving a draft shares a lot ofg the same code as actually sending.
Today at 14:31 local time, I sent the email about building Thunderbird 85.0b3. And I have several files in tmp from that time that contain that message in various states: ``` -rw------- 1 rob rob 3959 Dec 30 14:31 key-3.asc -rw------- 1 rob rob 78973 Dec 30 14:31 nscopy-2.tmp -rw------- 1 rob rob 3753 Dec 30 14:31 nsemail-2.html -rw------- 1 rob rob 78973 Dec 30 14:31 nsemail-3.eml -rw------- 1 rob rob 46469 Dec 30 14:31 nsmail-2.tmp -rw------- 1 rob rob 517 Dec 30 14:31 nsmail-3.tmp ``` * **key-3.asc** - This is a copy of my public key * **nscopy-2.tmp** - The entire email, headers and all attachments as one would expect to find in a maildir/mbox file * **nsemail-2.html** - The email body in HTML format * **nsemail-3.eml** - The entire email, same as nscopy-2.tmp * **nsmail-2.tmp** - The release notes that were included in the email (and html attachment, so this file is HTML) ** *nsmail-3.tmp** - The email body in plain text Based on the files left behind, it looks like when a message is sent, the various mime parts are written out to temporary files to assemble the final message before sending. That produces nsemail-3.eml. nscopy-2.tmp is maybe because of the copy to the sent folder. This is with Thunderbird 78.6.0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853007 Title: nsemail and nscopy files left in /tmp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/1853007/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
