User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML,

Steps to reproduce:

Testet with TB 78.1.1 and 78.2.1 on Windows 10.

I received a mail with multiple mime-parts: a html body and an encrypted
attachment.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: MULTIPART/MIXED; BOUNDARY="123456789-11111-9876543210=:4444"

--123456789-11111-9876543210=:4444
Content-Type: TEXT/HTML; CHARSET=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
...snip...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
--123456789-11111-9876543210=:4444
Content-Type: APPLICATION/pdf; name="Antragsnummer_123456789.pdf.pgp"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
...snip...
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
--123456789-11111-9876543210=:4444--

Actual results:

The message-body part decrypt successfully. But i can't open or save the
attachment decrypted. While click "Decrypt and Open..." and "Decrypt and
Save As..." nothing happend.

Expected results:

The attachment will be successfully decrypted and open/save with old TB
Version <=68 and enigmail-addon.

Confirming based on numerous reports from commenters and 1 duplicate.
Not being able to save an encrypted attachment as unencrypted sounds like a considerable detriment. -> S2.

No surprise there - this needs a lot of hooking up. We should probably
disable the menus until it's done.

I think this should instead use RNP.decrypt directly.

Kai, should we just hide this menu until it's working? Or you you have
code pointers to how to fix it?

Hiding is not a solution. Customers keep sending mail with encrypted
attachments. The only alternative then is a separate encrypting program
what is a big step back and  you must manage two keyrings

Well, we'd hide it only until we get it working, which we'd like to do
at some point.

I just got an update of Thunderbird to 78.4.3 and Enigmail automatically disabled itself with migration of keys to Thunderbird. Ok, thats fine but than I spend several hours trying to understand what is wrong with my setup until I finally have reached this thread and found "it is not implemented".
So, as it doesn't work - please remove menu items in order not to confuse everyone else. Without menu everyone will immediately recognize that he need to forget old convenient way and use another tool (like, 'gpg --decrypt' from console for example)
