WARNING: do not remove attachments from emails if you use Thunderbird 52.9.0

Post by DidierSpaier »

This is my advice after having read the message from Klaus Hartnegg titled Don't upgrade to Thunderbird 52.9.

Thunderbird 52.9.0 is currently shipped in at least Slackware 14.2 and -current, also Slint 14.2 and 14.2.1, and probably proposed by derivatives, at least those that don't ship their own packages, including Salix if I am not mistaken, as then slapt-get --upgrade or gslapt bring the most recent Slackware package.

I just made a quick test sending an email to myself as an attachment and removing the attachment from the received email, without any damage, but YMMV.

I suggest to just continue using 52.9.0 but avoid removing attachments from important emails until Thunderbird be upgraded to 52.9.1, just in case.

I also send an email to myself with an attachment and then remove the attachment and send it again without any damage.
Edit: mozilla-thunderbird 52.9.1 has been released.
