Although unrelated with the security issues above, may I ask something
that I
noticed for the first time in Thunderbird 102.11.0 (32-bit) that annoys
me and
what differs from some older versions in the past, as I can remember:
In fact,
a right click on a message body (in the message pane, F8) opens the
'Save As
...' option. Then in the new opened window a file name shall be entered.
However, it is per default offered to save the message under a rather
complex
name composed by all of these: Subject-Sender <sender_email> Day
Time.eml
And for some reason I get the response: 'Unable to save the message.
Please
check your file name."
So, after testing different variant of file names, I discovered that the
best
option is when the name includes only the Subject (and not the rest). It
makes
me wonder if it would be possible for a user to set it per default, so
it would
not be needed to shorten the file name each time. (I mean, to configure
saving
the message under a name that includes only the Subject and nothing
else.)
Furthermore, I noticed that message saving under a name that includes
some
non-alphabet characters, such as colon or like, also tends to fail. And
it fails
under some Linux versions, but not in Windows ones. What may be a reason
for
that? Thank you.
It works for me on my ext4 filesystem. However I tested saving to a NTFS
filesystem and I got that error message. That's probably a limitation of
what
characters filenames in NTFS filesystems (or whatever filesystem you're
trying
to save to) can contain. I suggest filing this issue upstream in order to
make
the default filename simpler.
Cheers,

Thank you for suggestion. May I ask for a weblink to do it. Tnx!
Probably on
