#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Report whether a saved Thunderbird draft (matched by subject) carries a named attachment. Usage: check_attachments.py . Prints "Attachment added!" if found, else "Attachment not found!". Robust: scans EVERY mbox file under the profile's Mail/ and ImapMail/ trees (not just a "Drafts" folder, since the draft may land in Local Folders/Drafts or the account Drafts depending on the identity's draft_folder). Also matches the attachment by a raw filename scan of the message body as a fallback (Thunderbird writes `filename="q3-report.pdf"` and/or `name="q3-report.pdf"` in the MIME part). Emits diagnostics so a run can be debugged from the captured stdout.""" import sys, os, glob, mailbox def mboxes(home): roots = glob.glob(os.path.join(home, ".thunderbird", "*", "Mail")) + \ glob.glob(os.path.join(home, ".thunderbird", "*", "ImapMail")) out = [] for r in roots: for dp, _dirs, files in os.walk(r): for f in files: if f.endswith(".msf") or f.endswith(".dat"): continue out.append(os.path.join(dp, f)) return out def main(): if len(sys.argv) < 3: print("Attachment not found!"); return subject, fname = sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2] home = os.path.expanduser("~") files = mboxes(home) print("DIAG scanned {} mbox files".format(len(files))) for path in files: try: raw = open(path, "r", encoding="utf-8", errors="replace").read() except Exception: continue if subject.lower() not in raw.lower(): continue print("DIAG subject found in", os.path.basename(path)) # structured check try: for msg in mailbox.mbox(path): if subject.lower() not in (msg.get("Subject", "") or "").lower(): continue for part in msg.walk(): disp = str(part.get("Content-Disposition") or "") pf = part.get_filename() or "" if "attachment" in disp.lower() and fname.lower() in pf.lower(): print("Attachment added!"); return except Exception: pass # raw fallback: the MIME part header names the file if ('filename="%s"' % fname).lower() in raw.lower() or \ ('name="%s"' % fname).lower() in raw.lower(): print("Attachment added!"); return print("Attachment not found!") main()
