This is on openSUSE leap 15.3, previous versions of TB work OK.

I see the same problem with TB 95b3, but under Win 10 21H1

Regression from the new attachment handling from bug 1737711?

Very likely. But dupe of bug 1741820?

I seems to encounter similar issue opening office documents (xlsx, docx, ...) attached to emails (IMAP account working online) with Thunderbird 95.0b4 (64-bit) on Windows 20H2. Was already happening with 95.0b3 (64-bit)... Pdf attachments open fine in TB tab...
I don't know if the file is empty, but office app just cannot open attachment directly from TB, error message appears, for example:
Excel cannot open the file (...) because the file format or file extension is not valid (...)
Saving the attachment and opening it from File Explorer works fine as workaround, but not really convenient :-)
My username does not contains any "-".

We have reports that the patch from bug 1741820 fixed the issue.

My username does not contains any "-".
...but my email address domain does contain "-" so that may be the reason why I am affected :-)
Will wait for 96.x beta, a priori should fix for me!

96.0a1 2021-11-24 has regressed again.
When attachment settings Edit>Settings - Files & Attachments is set to "Always ask" attachments cannot be opened from TB and no file is created in /tmp
