Attachment Temp files are now going in a subdirectory based on PID (91.6.2) #48

After updating Thunderbird to 91.6.2, in Windows, when opening an attachment in Thunderbird, it goes to "Temp\pid-16976" instead of the usual "Temp\". There was no indication in the release notes that this was changed or any reasoning given for it.

There should at least be an option to prevent it from going into a subfolder.

Basically attachments opened using 'Open With' are being auto saved as copies not tmp files - in the 'Temp/pid-xxxxx' folder and are not being auto deleted upon exit. Attachments that are opened with 'Open With' should not be auto saved.
