Thunderbird checks an email you are composing for the word "attached" and if it finds it, warns you that you may have forgotten to attach a file.

Can I add the word "stegys" as a synonym for "attached" ? This is the Cornish word for attached. Alternatively, if I add the Thunderbird Cornish dictionary, would Thunderbird warn me when it finds "stegys" in the text. I already have an excellent Cornish dictionary extension for Libre Office, and as such it seems overkill to add a second dictionary as I can spell check text in Writer and then paste it into Thunderbird. So adding a synonym would be my preferred option.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

When I try to save attachments from emails directly on my Computer, they never arrive at the destination folder - not individual files nor "save all attachements". Although the procedure '(left button menu - save - [navigation through file system till to the destination-folder] - save here') is "normal" and does not give any error message.

I can only save attachements, when i first open them (e.g. in word), and save them from there in its destination folder. This is quite a complicated procedure .. one should be able to save attachments directly from Thunderbird, without opening it.

What is the reason for this problem? Are there any options, is it a local problem (but it is a brandnew Laptop) or is it a bug in Thunderbird?

Best, Renate Albrecher

I am running Thunderbird version 128.11.0esr (64 bits) on Windows 10 Pro. I have defined, in Windows, the default program for .doc and .docx files to be LibreOffice Writer and this works fine when I click on such a file in Windows.

But when I got a docx attachment in a Thunderbird email, and clicked on it, nothing happened. When I right-click on it, it just offers to open (not to select which program to open it with). I have to save the file locally, and click on it in Windows in order to open it.

This is very frustrating, all the more so that it used to work. I tried adding the two following lines to the prefs.js file, to no avail - no change:

user_pref("network.mime-handler.external.application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", "D:\\Program Files\\LibreOffice\\program\\swriter.exe"); user_pref("network.mime-handler.external.application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document.useSystemDefault", false);

Any suggestions? Thanks!

hello

I don't seem to be able to attach and display a photo while sending an email. I transfer the image over but all that appears is a small square with no image displayed. Attachment doesn't seem to work either.

I'm on a MacBook Air

any help would be appreciated

Since the most recent update, Thunderbird doesn't load the email when clicking on the entry in the inbox, and then when double clicking to open in a new tab, the main window is blank with a Loading... text on the top left, and the URL shown above starts with chrome://

Running Thunderbird 146.0

I see that any emails I sent using my outlook/microsoft account, two copies of that sent emails get generated under 'sent' folder when it should just be one so each time I have manually delete one copy. I have not seen this issue with other providers like Gmail, Yahoo or iCloud (Apple).

The other issue is which I have only started having today is that when I am trying to attach files the dialog box from which I can select the files open briefly for like 2 seconds (with no contents visible) and then disappears.
