[Bug/Feature] Email attachments get saved automatically to Gallery even if it ist Spam!
[Xperia X] Yesterday i received a Spam E-mail with 2 attachments. (a Whiterussian Girl looking for marriage... WTF???) One attachment was a nudepic and the other was a "site.html" (what ever that was, virus?) I opened the Email and when i saw the minimized noodepic in the attachments, i deleted the mail without even reading it. Today I searched for some pictures I took last week to show them to my kolegue. And when I opened the gallery there it was... the nudepic. How ist that sh..t possibe?? Why do the attachments download automatically? What about the site.html file? Where is it? In my opinnion it is a security problem, when attachments get downloaded automatically without my knowledge. What if it was a virus constructed to infiltrate Sailfish OS (or what ever). Do i even have a chance to not download every garbage that is attached to an E-mail? I know some of you are laughing while reading, but its actually not funny. ;-) How to deactivate the automatic download of attachments?
Edit: Appsetting for automatic download to gallery was disabled. SailfisX issue? Or general?
Edit 2: Setup: POP . I opened the deleted spam E-mail in the deleted folder and without touching any attachment that stupid nudepic got loaded again into my Gallery. So there was no activation of attachment download by mistake. I have all the attachmens from 18.10.2017 in my Downloads/Email-Attachments folder without having the automatic download enabled. it must be a Bug. even with POP-Setup.
Is auto image download off under Settings > Apps > Email ? Or did you tap on the images by chance?
