Hello,

thanks for your very valuable Add-On. I like it very much.

I spotted one issue with the download of the attchements in the email. In case the filename of the attchement has a blank within the name, the created Obsidian note cannot refer to this file.

There are two solutions, as Obsidian supports two formats for internal links between notes:

In ThunderbirdObsidianClipper the Markdown syntax is used. Then each blank in the filename should be replaced by %20. Or you change towards the Wikilink syntax. Then the filename has to be wrapped by two square brackets.

I hope this helps. Best

I'm not updating as quickly as I'd like, but I'll make sure this is in the next release. Thanks for raising this issue and for using ObsidianClipper!

I wanted to update the status of the work here and let you know I have not forgotten about this. I have been working since August to implement HTML email clipping (a lot bigger than I had expected!) and just submitted it to Thunderbird. The next release, hopefully at the end of December, will be closing out a lot of miscellaneous issues. I'm hoping this will be one of them.
