Can you post a screenshot of the filter definition please? not quite sure where the forwarding message action comes from, is it a FiltaQuilla or a Thunderbird standard action?

I took the liberty of anonymizing your screenshot and inserting it directly. You can just paste images directly in the edit textfield here in github with any modern browser. Since I don't know the language I do not know what you have as the search condition. May there be a problem with diacritics not being matched from the body or subject?

If it is a Thunderbird issue, then there is not much I can do - quickFilters does not actually get involved in the filtering process at all, it only helps generating / managing filters. It doesn't do anything when the filters run.

Hello, we are experiencing the same issue. Filter-based forwarding of emails with attachement does not work because of access right issues. When using teh debugger the follwoing bug is reported: Uncaught (in promise) Error: Missing host permission for the tab Forwarding emails with attachement manually without using quick filters does work without any problem. We think that this is not a TB problem, it is a quick filters problem. Please, fix this bug. Thanks in advance

I am testing here - but even if I disable quickFilters and restart Thunderbird I still get the error message. If I look at the filter log I actually get a message that states the mail was forwarded:

[27/11/2021, 16:31:03] Applied filter "quickFilters - issue 80" to message from Axel Grude <axel.grude@gmail.com> - [quickFilters] issue 80: forward mail with attachment. 4 at 27/11/2021, 16:29:59 forwarded 

Further, I tried disabling my other Add-ons (QuickFolders, which also establishes folder listeners which I suspected were the cause of the problem and FiltaQuilla) - same result, always an error caused by mailnews.send:

16:34:09.106 Connection reset. irc.jsm:907

16:34:14.732 mailnews.send:

I then also disabled SmartTemplates and Copy Sent to Current, Category Manager and Message Header Toolbar Customize. Restarted. still same error message, even with a completely fresh Email (with attachment) - the error happens both when running the filter automatically (incoming) and manually. Could this be a Thunderbird bug?

PS: I wonder if the same error happens on a POP3 account?

I have asked about this in the Tb developers chat on matrix / element. Hopefully we will get an answer next week!

I think I found a related and relevant bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1741805

This seems a regression caused by Thunderbird 91.3.1 - the developer is aware of it, let's hope for a quick patch.

To compare apples with apples, can you disable quickFilters and run the filter automatically? Also do you have the assistant switched off when Thunderbird starts? I just want to make sure it's not an active assistant that is causing this. A

Just a note - quickFilters does not run the filters or interact in any way while Thunderbird executes filters (regardless whether they were created with quickFilters or manually)
