Title:
  "Save All" for same-named attachments defaults to only one saved file

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  thunderbird 1:24.2.0+build1-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, Ubuntu 13.10

  1. Send yourself a message containing more than one attachment with the same filename, e.g. "image.jpeg".
  2. Open the message in Thunderbird, and choose "Save All".
  3. Select a folder to save the attachments in, and choose "Open" [sic].

  What happens: For n attachments, n–1 "Confirm" alerts appear with the
  text: "{pathname} already exists. Do you want to replace it?"

  If you choose "Cancel", a "Save Attachment" dialog appears for
  choosing a different path/filename.

  But the default is "OK", and if you choose that each attachment
  overwrites the previous one, something that nobody would ever want.
