I'm currently unable to save openoffice attachments that I receive via email, in Claws-Mail. If I try to save a document, it pops up a dialog box saying: "Couldn't save the part of multipart message: Permission denied". Additionally, if I try to open the document from wthin Claws-Mail, OpenOffice starts and then hangs. I usually have to terminate the OpenOffice application to get rid of it.

This is with OpenOffice 3.0.0. Can't remember if it did work with 2.4.1.

Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

In $HOME/.claws-mail/clawsrc, there is a setting

Code:
attach_save_directory


Somehow this got defaulted to /. Simply changing this to $HOME/ cleared the error.
