Recent Thunderbird update, 91.5.1 and maybe the previous, when I want to Save and e-Mail, Thunderbird gives an excessive name beginning with the e-Mail Subject, then the Sender's EMail Addree, then the Date. For 20-plus years my Netscape e-Mail, and then Thunderbird only gave the Subject as the initial file name. I am very very used to working with the Subject, only. Now I have to go into the e-Mail name and Delete the Sender's EMail Address and the Date. Is there a way to get the program to only save as the Subject line, without having to correct each and every e-Mail I want to save?

The ImportExportTools NG add-on allows custom filenames (see picture).
