I had a great couple of years using Filtaquilla, but after 4/8/25 autosaving attachments with Filtaquilla stopped working. Found the Github thread where others had the same issue / same new version of Thunderbird.

RealRaven2000 posted a zip file that fixed it, yay. It made me realize how much I depend on this autosave feature.

thanks for your review. I am sure we can fix it, please make sure to add your observations on the Github. We have to move with the changes in the platform, and attachments are the main reason I have made a new branch that requires Thunderbird 128 as minimum version.

My main objectives for future FiltaQuilla are security and performance (in that order) I am sinking as much time into this as possible, even though I do not want to monetize the Add-on, because I think it is important to the community, and because it is a risky Add-on to maintain (as it deals with the data directly).

I have just rewritten the Javascript methods because the old (highly dangerous) eval() function is now officially off the table (It throws a CSP exception) - and came up with a way to run script in a sandbox, this will be part of the next release as soon as saving attachments is fully working!
