I am using Lucid Lynx, Thunderbird 3.1.7 and I am affected by this bug too.
I use IMAP and "Detach" and "Delete" used to work just fine before, and I love this feature. Recently (perhaps after an update) it behaves erratically: It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. As mentioned in bug reports above, when a "detach" fails, the attachment gets saved to disk properly, but the attachment doesn't get deleted from the email. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247404 Title: detach attachments does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
