Prevent saving blocked attachments

Opened this issue · 1 comments

While testing your extention I noticed that trying to open a blocked file is prevented, saving the same file works.
Now I have a couple of pc's where I don't want any possibilties to open specific files.

Is there any chance this finds its way into your extention?

Thanks a lot and greetings

Dear @Troillius
thank you for your suggestion. At the moment, I have focussed on the issue that users just quickly open an attachment and do not think about the further consequences. Saving the file, going to the download folder and open it directly requires much more intention. Furthermore, the virus scanner has a higher chance scanning this file and blocking it.
There might be even more options to get the file to the computer like saving the complete message and extracting the content or the like.

Nevertheless, I will keep this as an idea. Anyhow, I have to write an API for the add-on as they are pushing developers not using the experiments any more. I think it should be possible to add it in here.
Main problem: I need the time for that.

Best regards
Jens
