Actually, it seems to have been rather a user error in my case. :) The
problem occured when I had limited the size of e-mails to be downloaded
to 100kB. That was the case ever since I started using TB almost a year
ago. So that those large e-mails (and also their attachments) were
downloaded each time the e-mail was opened or the attachments saved.

After disabling of the mail size limit in account options the problem
seems to be gone. TB then downloaded all the previously too large
e-mails. It now still shows "loading" for a short time when a large
e-mail is opened, but that seems to be loading from hard disk (which
goes very busy during that time) while the network connection is idle. I
gueass that rather short loading time now is probably a result of the
compression I have activated in TB for the e-mail files, and the
subsequent need to decompress when opening an e-mail.

So, there seems to be no issue for me after all.

Title:
  mozilla attachments are dowloaded multiple times

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Invalid
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  scenario.  open thunderbird and a message (new or old, doesnt matter)
  with a big attachment, lets say a .jpg that is 2Mb.  and for the sake
  of argument lets also say it is the first new message of your day.  So
  TBird automatically focuses on the first message, and you can watch
  the progress bar as it loads the message....

  some time later, the load is done.  hey, the image has a funny
  resolution in this view, so i double-click on the message and pop up a
  message window.  AND THEN THE MESSAGE WINDOW DOWNLOADS THE oh-so-
  fargin-lovely 2Mb AGAIN.

  no, this is not all.  No, TBird can be made to DL that sucker in all
  sorts of odd ways.

  It is very annoying and seems so unnecessary.  Are mail messages ever
  actually volatile?  And even if they were, for what fraction of hte
  people would they be like that?

  this is probably not a "bug" per se; but my bet is a lot of people
  would like to download that 2Mb just once.


  b.t.w., in this scenario I have an IMAP-SSL connection to my server.
