  3. Tap on Downlod and save file.
Expected behavior

Research direction

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the attachment download on Thunderbird for Android 15.0 with Android 13 and a partially downloaded message, then trace the download or view entry point; done means a PDF or other attachment is saved completely and opens without corruption.
