Description Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2010-01-17 16:40:24 UTC 
Today I opened openoffice document from the mail. It appeared to be a usual openoffice window and I start typing corrections. I saved it several times. When I closed the window, it appeared that document with all my daily corrections is gone. It was stored in local cache folder in .evolution and it was deleted. I was not happy.

It would be nice to make document readonly when Evolution opens the viewer for them. This way openoffice will not allow me to save document and will suggest to choose the location for example.

This once was even in place as described, but maybe some code broke in the meantime...
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2010-01-17 19:28:21 UTC 
Probably broke in my attachment rewrite.  It's a valid bug though, confirming.

Note this only applies to received attachments for which a temporary file must be written to disk before it can be opened.  Attachments added while composing a message will open normally.
