Enter a file name when saving an e-mail

[firefoxaz]

In Settings, it is possible to set the file name with which the email is saved when saving the email.

For example:
[Date]_[Time] [Subject]
20240524_0720 Discussion

obsession

[Date]_[Time] [From] [Subject]
20240524_0720 Valaki@gmail_com Discussion

obsession

[Date]_[Time] [First 5 characters of sender] [First 15 characters of subject]
20240524_0720 Someo Discussion

You want to customize the name of the file being saved??

Currently when I press Ctrl + s while a mail is open the proposed name for the .eml file that will be saved as something like '[subject] - [sender] - [date]' which is not what suits my needs.

Same thing is discussed here and in other forums.
The workaround with this import/export add on tool is not really nice as it does not apply to the ctrl + s function.

Would be great if a config line gets implemented where the naming convention can be changed to own needs.

There maybe already is the same idea here, but I was not 100% sure so I wrote this anyway.

Implementation would be nice 🙂
