692390 - peculiar behaviour of e-mail attachments

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 683093

(Thunderbird :: OS Integration, defect)

Description

[Siggi Engelbrecht]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0.2
Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

OSX 10.7.1, Thunderbird 7.0.1
e-mails with attachment(s) behave somewhat unexpectedly in the above environment in that attachment(s) are saved correctly if saved via "save all" but if you drag the attached file icon, e.g., onto your desktop you end up with an "undefined" file.

 If the attachment was, e.g., a pdf, the "undefined" neither will show correctly under MacOS nor open whereas the same file saved via the "save all to.." button behaves just as expected. 

Now this certainly is not a big problem, but I clearly recall a different behaviour of Thunderbird 5. AND sometimes you would like to save just one attached file out of a bunch of files!

This should be fixed in the next release.
