Bug continues, all users of thunderbird use /tmp as 755 so everybody can read attachments that one user has opened. Is there any straight solution ? It´s a great fail of security.

How to repeat: Open an E-Mail, Open an Attachment (e.g. google.png) $ cd /tmp; ls -lh -rw-r--r-- 1 theuser thegroup 2,4K Dez 11 10:39 google.png Instead, Thunderbird should write the file with permissions 600. Plus, to avoid conflicts between users, the file should be written into a directory per user, e.g. /tmp/theuser/google.png or another user specific temp directory.
