The "new" Microsoft formats (.docx and .xlsx) hang Thunderbird when one tries to attach them to an email. The older formats (.doc and .xls) don't. Bug?

I can attach a docx file here in TB 68.3.1 32b/W10, although there is a bug with opening attachments with spaces in the name. Do you have an antivirus app scanning outgoing mail or attachments?
