Hi there,

Re: file name for saving an email

I see that the latest Thunderbird (91.2.1) now adds extra info to the file name of an email when I want to save it. Before it was the subject line only, but now it adds extra email info, a date and a unique number of some kind etc. I don't actually need this extra info when I save an email and now have to delete it each time I save one..... Can I adjust this default so as the saving file name is the subject only? Like it was before?

Thanks!
