Hi everyone!
I love Thunderbird and I’m really happy with it.
It’s the flatpak version and, sadly, it doesn’t allow me to open attachments. When I click on the file, it brings me to a screen where it proposes to use the system handler to open the file and then nothing happens.
Apparently, this is a common issue related to flatpak and its permissions, so I tried to circumvent it by trying to open documents inside Thunderbird (as I remember Thunderbird being able to open PDFs) but it didn’t work as it’s only telling me that Firefox is already running.
Does anyone know a workaround as for now it forces me to save documents before being able to open them?
Report the issue on their bugzilla, you have all the infos.
If you dont report it, maybe they dont find it.
You can try the Thunderbird Nightly also via Flatpak and see what they are headed towards. I think they are messing a bit too much with the UI tbh.
You can find the repo in my flatpak repo list
Yeah that’s what I’ll do. I’ll report it, even if I had already seen posts of people who are reported it.
Thanks for your input 👍
