User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20170929042838 Steps to reproduce: My signature file was "/home/xxx/.signature". It worked until release 52.4.0. To make it work in 52.4.0 I had to change the filename and the relative account setting to "/home/xxx/signature" (without the leading dot). That made it work again. Thunderbird 52.4.0 on Debian unstable. Actual results: The signature is not appended to messages. Expected results: The signature should be appended to messages.
Turns out this is a bug in the Debian apparmor profile. sudo aa-disable /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird makes the .signature file work again. OTOH, with sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.thunderbird the bug is still there and apparmor does *not* log the access failure to dmesg. Doh!
