    Hello everybody!
    Since the last update is installed, a customer of me has a strange problem while decrypting e-mails with attachment using Thunderbird (version 68).
    the original name of the attachment got lost and its just possible to save the files as "attachment" file without any information about the original name or the file-type.
    Sadly its really recommend, what name the files have. After saving, the files will be imported in a accounting software. If its important, the original file is an ".csv" document.
    Is there anywhere an option for attachment handling which ich overlooked, or is it a real issue?

    As far as I can tell, there was no change in Enigmail, and I 'd rather suspect that there was a change on the sender's side, and not in Enigmail.

    Enigmail has a function that tries to detect if the file names are hidden, and offers a button to reveal the original file names. But that only works for a known set of sender MUAs.

    How are the file names labelled in the email (before decryption)? Are you sure that the naming of the attachments was always like this?
