When I am trying to open text attachment (which is sucessfuly shown in preview windows), it fails, because text editors (notepad and PsPad tried) got link
imap:\\mail_account@server143\fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX%3E1480?part=1.2&type=text\plain&filename=PT7801.TXT instead of downloading file to temp and opened from them (which is doing for other attachments).

Same behaviour seen with POP3 accounts.

Reproducible: Always
How do you try to open them ?

Do you have the the same issue in safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?
(In reply to comment #1)

Doubleclick on txt file in attachment bar placed in bottom of mail view window (same behavour if I opened mail in new Window).

Thinderbird is asking:
"This link needs to be obened with an application. Send to:"

But it is not link at all. It is plain/txt file (PT1701.TXT in my case).

I could forward some mail with it, if you will.

Tried safe mode, no change.
Seeing the same effect (since rc2):
Also it seems that TB tries to open the txt file as an imap URL instead of a Type Text file - asking me what type of app should be used for imap urls (win xp).

note: save as is functionning correctly.
Just adding few things.

- U have seen this on RC1 too. I haven't tried earlier versions.

- On POP3 account, link is (for example):
mailbox:\\\C|\Documents%20and%20Settings\user\Application%20Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\74c622br.default\Mail\Local%20Folders\Inbox?number=220177084&part=1.2&filename=PT7801.TXT&type=text\plain&filename=PT7801.TXT
Summary: text/plain attachments are not downloading to open → text/plain attachments are not downloaded to tempdir to open
I see the same behavior also double clicking on text attachments in the composition window.
Same behavior here, with both Windows 7 x86 and x64 (I tried with pop3 i can try imap in the evening), if I try to open a plain *.txt attachment i get the window that ask me wich program it should use to open the link... Got this since rc1, it worked well in beta 4 (didn't try earlier betas)

To reproduce it just autosend to yourself an email with a txt attachment and double click it on the bottom message pane with attachments, even if the message is opened in a new tab.

PS: Save as... is working as it should :)
