Hi :) Now the confusion is that MS Outlook does allow this behaviour so people assume that's the way it should be done. Even though they lose files they still grumble about the idea of having to download to a known location. Something that did catch their attention was the threading. MS Outlook just can't manage it. Regards from Tom :)

It wasn't always - less recent version of Thunderbird would open attachemnts in read/write mode, and this was a major source of confusion for our users - they would open a document, make changes, just click 'save', then couldn't find their changes... I'd have to help them dig out the modified document from their Temp folder. I was very happy when Thunderbird changed this so that email attachments were opened in read only mode. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
