In the meantime a new Attachment Extractor addon is created for Thunderbird 88+, which uses MailExtension-API in combination with a experiment API. This new addon still suffers from the lack of this Bug / Feature here and is forced to use a function, which doesn't provide the linkt to detached files on disc after extraction. And my efforts to provide an updated version of my addon needs the additional save path parameter still, too. IMHO this is a sad annoyance, because you still have to do bulk detach operations without the improvement (link to files) introduced in Thunderbird 68. So, if there is somebody, who could provide the additional code lines in the C++ part, it would be appreciated.
