Motivation for this change
The "Mailto: Me Your Secrets" paper describes vulnerabilities in
multiple email clients regarding the undocumented "attach" field of a
mailto URI. This might allow the inclusion of sensitive data in an
outgoing email.
Pull request #95758 addresses this issue on a more general level.
Claws Mail unfortunately also has problems with mailto URIs (bug 4373, bug 4374).
Referring to the paper, problems for "attach" and "insert" were found
and fixed. These patches, which are not included in a release yet, are
hereby added.
