Chris, Magnus, you can follow the progress of this *enhancement* at [1] ("should open attachments readonly mode - changes to attachment are lost if user does not a explicit "save as..."").
This behavior seems not to affect only TB but also any other mozilla derivate. However all the requests about changing this thunderbird behavior are marked as dup of the above bug at bugzilla (e.g. [2] "Thunderbird Bug: Save attachments as read-only when opened"). There is a proposed patch dated from 2007-02-04. [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220808 [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257499 -- when opening an attachment, it should be written to tmp as a read-only file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87101 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
