Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 220808

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[abma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

If you open an (imap)-attachement by double-click, then the file is stored into the temp-directory. If you change that file and close thunderbird, the file is deleted!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an (imap) attachement by double-click
2. change that file with the associated program
3. close the associated program
4. close thunderbird
5. the file is deleted

Actual Results:  
file is deleted

Expected Results:  
file shouldn't be deleted if filesize/date/file attributes are changed. (or better checksum/file contents are the same)

i hope this is no duplicate.

i think this is a major bug, because of data loss.
