[Bug 1902801] Re: Encrypted attachments cannot be opened or saved as decrypted files

[Michael Altfield]

This has been a long-standing issue since I made the poor/forced
decision to switch from enigmail to the built-in Thunderbird support.

This has been horrible. I first noticed the issue when telling my future
employer (the CEO of the company) that they failed to attach my contract
to an email. They did attach it, but Thunderbird just didn't display it.

That was 10 months ago. I still can't open attachments in gpg-encrypted
mails.

I have no idea when (if?) this will be fixed, so I present a work
around: use claws mail.

  sudo apt-get install claws-mail claws-mail-pgpmime

When someone sends me an email and I suspect there's an attachment, I
just run claws mail to view the attachment. It's awful, but it works.
