Hi,

I had an old question about PDF's showing inside the email, but I did not have evidence. I now have a pdf that shows in line, in Thunderbird, and one that does not.

Would this help in developing and allowing Thunderbird to show Pdfs in line?

Thanks a lot

I received the email. The PDF is attached, and is not showing inline. The understandable confusion is that the content of the email is similar to the content of the PDF. I verified this by viewing the source of the message's complex HTML, viewing the message in plain text, and viewing the message after deleting the PDF as I wanted to do due diligence to your request. I doubt your request will ever be done because PDFs are complex and never intended to be processed this way. PDFs are intended to preserve a specific format and font, which would be difficult to reconstruct. Anyway, I was glad to review this for you. :)

Would you mind redirecting (not forwarding) that email to me at davidthunderbird at gmx dot com? I would like to evaluate it. Thank you.

Hi,

please explain what you mean by redirecting?

Thanks

If you highlight a message in the message list pane and rightclick, a menu opens with options such as forward, reply, move, etc. One of the options is 'redirect' - that sends the message as though it came from the original source. In that way, I will see the message exactly as you see it.
