Can no longer download RSS feed attachments
For many years I've been getting my various podcasts by subscribing to the RSS feeds with Thunderbird. The podcast then appears as an attachment to a RSS item, which I can right-click and download.
Until a few weeks ago, possibly after I updated TB to 115.12.2 64bit:
RSS feed items no longer visibly have attachments. If they have a download link, I can right-clicking on it and Save As, but nothing happens and nothing is saved. If I left-click on it a player gadget opens and starts playing. I then have to right click on that and Save Audio.
Examle podcasts that are giving me trouble: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/0185cea5-9e3b-4b82-a887-26f91f92765f https://feeds.twit.tv/sn.xml http://risky.biz/rss.xml
Is there a config option I can set to restore the previous behaviour? I can't go on using TB for my podcsts as it is - it's too much of a pain.

If not the complete solution, I've found a work-around - see attached image.
You get the attachment shown if, in the feed item display, you select More - Message Body As - Summary.
It still seems wrong that if you select Web Page or Default Format, right-click, Save Link As... does nothing. It shoud either be greyed out, or (preferably) actually do what is says on the tin.

Those feeds indicate attachments, but viewing the source shows this at the end:
This MIME attachment is stored separately from the message.
So I don't think it's possible to download the file the usual way. But when I add the feed to Feedbro, a Firefox add-on, the feed descriptions contain a line e.g. View enclosure: R1_sn0982.mp3, which can be downloaded by right-clicking, Save Link As.
It's not credible to suggest that all three of those feeds (and others I didn't mention) changed at the same time. All I'm asking is that TB revert to its old behaviour, in particular, that rt-click - Save Link As... should actually do something, rather than absolutely nothing at all!
