[Users] Reading html mail.

More moaning about using claws-mail on my new laptop!

On my old laptop I can view emails in html format by right-clicking on a
small rectangle near the right hand edgen of the claws-mail window,
and then left-clicking on "Open".

If I try this on my new laptop I get a message to the effect

> Access to the file was denied

The file .claws-mail/mimetmp/00000001.mimetmp.html is there, and is
indeed not readable.

Is there some setting that I can adjust so that such files will be
readable?  Or is there something else that I should do?

Note that I have installed *no* plugins for reading html mail, but that
also applies to my old laptop, for which the previously described
procedure *does* work.

Thanks for any advice.

sincerely,

Unk
