OpenDetachedAttachments

If attachments are detached, Thunderbird saves the absolute path to the attachments in the email. So, if the attachments are later moved to another location, Thunderbird will no longer be able to find them. This add-on allows you to define replacements 'old path' ⇒ 'new path'.

- Fixed issue for TB>152
- Code refactoring

Some add-ons ask for permission to perform certain functions (example: a tab management add-on will ask permission to access your browser’s tab system).

Since you’re in control of your Thunderbird, the choice to grant or deny these requests is yours. Accepting permissions does not inherently compromise your browser’s performance or security, but in some rare cases risk may be involved.
