Hi, Here is a very simple fix for this problem.
It's provided as an extension : http://diesmo.free.fr/misc/fix-open-bad-mime-attachments-1.0.0.xpi Before : - when clicking on "open" for an attachment, thunderbird used the mime-type, even though it has the exact path to the attachment to open (the message + the mime part in the message, eg part=1.2); Now : - we "null" the content-type, so that thunderbird does not use it. Results : - the attachment opens correctly; - if you double-click the attachment and choose "Save", it works also; - if you click "remember the choice" the mimetypes.rdf gets the correct mime-type. - you still need to clean the mimetypes.rdf if you had corrupted entries. - for old emails with corrupted mime-types for attachments, you can open the attachments; I hope this helps ?
