mail is delivered to the store via lmtp transport from a Postfix agent
mail, with attachments (e.g., .PDF) is received OK
it's readable, attachments can be opened and/or saved to disk\
if, in TBird client, i move the message to any other folder in the IMAP
hierarchy, the message relocates, as expected.
the message itself is still readable, and _appears_ to have the attachment.
but, attempting to OPEN the *attachment*, with e.g. Okular, from within the
relocated message pops up a dialog,
"Could not open file:///tmp/pid-28435/manual_13542AE.pdf"
and saving it to Desktop,
ls -al manual_13542AE.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 pgnd pgnd 27 Apr 1 06:01 manual_13542AE.pdf
file manual_13542AE.pdf
manual_13542AE.pdf: data
then opening it similarly returns
"Could not open file:///home/pgnd/Desktop/manual_13542AE.pdf."
Moving the message, via TBird, **BACK** to the Inbox, cures the problem --
-- I can immediately, again, open & save the attachments.
This 'feels' like cache management misconfiguration to me. Not sure whether in
Tbird &/or Dovecot, or what to look for specificially.
Hints as to cause/fix of this attachment issue? Or event what/where,
specifically, to log?
