Send yourself a message containing at least two attachments with the same filename, e.g. "image.jpeg". 2. Open the message in Thunderbird, and choose "Save All". 3. Select a folder to save the attachments in, and choose "Open" (bug 531777). What happens: For n attachments, n–1 "Confirm" alerts appear with the text: "{pathname} already exists. Do you want to replace it?" If you choose "Cancel", instead of cancelling, a "Save Attachment" dialog appears for choosing a different path/filename (bug 678345). However, the default is "OK", and if you choose that, each attachment overwrites the previous one that was saved just a fraction of a second earlier -- something that nobody would ever want. Not to be confused with bug 448580. Optionally letting you specify a different name for each attachment would be a slightly faster workaround for this bug than just saving all the attachments individually. However, it would not fix this bug, which is that the *default* behavior for "Save All" is to save only one of the attachments. That shouldn't even be an option.
