at my work we have upgraded suse to 11.2, thus we also got an upgrade of thunderbird 2 to 3.
When I now save attachments to our network disks it writes them as user=rw (600), and no longer as 644. I do not want to do chmod for every attachment.
When creating a file by csh or bash terminal or downloading a file by firefox it does write the file as 644, which is good.
Can someone please give me a suggestion of how I can solve this problem? Is there something I have to change in the prefs.js file?
Hi Arjan, welcome to the forums. Done some searching and cannot find an answer right now. I suggest you’d search the mozilla thunderbird forums as well.
Done some testing as well. I cannot find a setting in about:config, that changes this behaviour. On a clean setup of Thunderbird, the same thing happens here. Please file a bug report.
In the meantime you could let a script on the server change the permissions of downloaded files. Run the script through the crontab, and no manual interference is needed.
