attachment not working

Hello,

I did install FreeBSD 13.1 as a Virtualbox guest under a Wx Host.
I did follow the instructions from the Handbook in oder to make it work,
especially the Virtualization section.

I shared a folder with the following command from the host system:

* VBoxManage sharedfolder add "FreeBSD" --name "Docs" --hostpath "C:\test"


I could mount the shred folder on the guest with:

* mount_vboxvfs -w Docs /mnt/Wx/

I can access the files with my no root user via CLI and also with the caja file
manager, can also add and delete files.

The problem comes when I am using the mail client thunderbird, writing a new
mail and try to add an attachment that is stored in the shared folder, the
folder /mnt/Wx appears as empty than (see attachment).
