1606319 - When I open an office attachment the file is not found

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1601905

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[musiquegraeme]

Attachment: This is the error message for a file without space names

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to open a Microsoft Office file in TB. I clicked on the file.

Actual results:

I got error messages saying the file could not be found

if the file name had spaces in it I first got a message that the directory was not valid.

The files were not being looked for in the Temporary folder but in another folder completely.
This only applies to Microsoft files - Word files, Excel files and Powerpoint files. I can still open Adobe files without problem.

Expected results:

The right path should have been sent to the opening program and the file should have opened correctly.
I have, when I've finished with all the error messages, gone to the temporary file folder in the appropriate program and opened the file without problem.

Attachment: This is an example of an error message saying that the file can't be found. Conference is the second word in the file name.
