Sorry to comment on this again, but:
Is there any way (without editing the sources) to restore the old behaviour again? This may seems strange, but we definitely need this "bug" as a feature.

Workflow here currently is as follows: We receive Mails with Word/OOo/RTF-Attachments. Attachments are opened with OOo, a header is added to the file with various internal info and the file is saved-as to a network share and closed.

This worked as long as we were using Ubuntu 7.04 with TB1.5. Now with Ubuntu 8.04 and TB2, the files are opened as read-only in OOo, meaning you cannot edit the file at all, but have to first save-as, then edit, then save again and close.

This might seems only a small difference, but for >100 Mails a day it really *is* unneccessary additional work.

If there's any chance, I would make this a configurable option (at least via about:config).
