Attachments in received mail need to be more obvious
I use Thunderbird in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor. I keep overlooking attachments because the tiny paperclip and the tiny link to the attachment at the bottom of the screen are too easy to miss. A more obvious visual cue is needed. Perhaps display the paperclip in a contrasting color and move the attachment link to just below the message header instead of putting it at the very bottom of the screen so far from the message body? Up to now this was just an inconvenience, but today it actually cost me $50 because of an attached notice I missed even though I had read the email several times.

It's possible to modify the attachment pane with userChrome, to make it larger and with a background colour:
/* attachment pane */
.attachmentList {
background-color: cyan !important;
height: 200px !important;
min-height: 200px !important;
overflow: auto !important;}
Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, create a new folder named chrome, create a new document in chrome with a text editor, name it userChrome.css, Save as type: All files *.*, copy in the above code, change the numbers and colour as desired. Double-click toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true in Settings/General/Config. editor, restart TB.
The colour of the attachment icon in the Attachments column (Table View) can be modified with this code:
table[is="tree-view-table"] .attachmentcol-column img { stroke: crimson !important;}
