Today the pictures,jpg, stopped opening automatically in Thunderbird mobile. Now there is a View link and its just not good to have to go through the extra steps to see the pictures. It must be an update that broke it because my settings didn't change. Also, It would be helpfull to see date and time of messages instead of day of the week.

Hi, I have an issue with the Android mobile versionof Thunderbird (16.1). I cannot open PDF sent to me, neither through clicking it in the app, nor by downloading it and open it with other applications. The PDFs themself must bei ok, cause I can open them on desktop. Also I don't have issues with opening PDF reaching me by other sources. My os is Android 15. Do you have a fix for it or do I have to wait till it's fixed by a patch? Kind regards

Incoming Emails Sometimes Lack Attachments

Hi. I am finding, as I use TB Android more and more, that some messages - I know coming from gmail but perhaps also others - come in lacking attachments. In the message list I clearly see the paper clip icon. But when the message is opened I see no sign of an attachment anywhere. This is true even when I tap download complete message at the very bottom. But I can easily see it on the gmail website AND if I download the message into TB desktop.

Anyone have any idea what is happening here?

Thanks

I got an email with a dozen or so mp3 files attached and wanted to download them in one go onto my android phone. I chose "download complete message " thinking that would work. But no. The files don't appear in the downloads folder so I'm going to download each one separately. But I'd still like to find where the "complete message" was saved so I can delete it. Regards, Ian

Dificult to view attachments for long emails

I believe the only option to view attachments is to scroll until the end of the email. This is inconvenient for emails with many replies and forwards as they become very long. In addition, the implicit Gmail indentation, makes the scroll length extremely long (email is eventually displayed one character per line). I have one email that I need to scroll hundreds of screens so I can view the attachments. See attached image with the email contents and scroll bar.

It would help to have a button to scroll to the end or ignore indentation. Both options would be helpful as scrolling to the end allows downloading the attachments and reading the initial email.

Dear Sir/Madam,

      Have been using Thunderbird since it's inception . I have appreciated the "add-ons" which shrink picture file size in the desktop version. Having used Thunderbird for android for a year now I am most frustrated at the inability to utilise this sort of function on android. An email photograph is so helpful in many situations. Am I missing something or do you intend to implement such a function.
   Kind regards Ian

Attachments in that android app

Hello Thunderbird team,

I’ve been a long-time fan of your email client and have been using the desktop version for many years. Recently, I started actively using the Android version as well. From time to time, I also make donations to support the project, since it’s very important to me that Thunderbird continues to grow.

I’d like to share a suggestion: it would be very convenient if attachments in emails were displayed right after the subject line, instead of at the bottom of the entire conversation. In long email threads, it can be inconvenient to scroll all the way down just to open an attached file.

I’d be very grateful if you could consider this improvement. Thank you in advance for your feedback and for your excellent work on Thunderbird!

Best regards, Aleks

Hi everyone, I use Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. It is very common for me that I take a screenshot by using smart select function, pin the image and then attach it to the email by dropping the image to the "body" section of the email in Gmail . Is there away to do that on Thunderbird as well?

If not, it would be great to see that feature in Thunderbird with future updates.

HI I have the latest Thunderbird installed on my Redmi Note 8 Pro (Android 11). When I try to write an email and add an attachment (e.g., a photo), the system file manager opens. After selecting the file, it doesn't appear in Thunderbird. Sharing a file from the file manager via Thunderbird results in the same issue. Only when sharing a file through the system Gallery app to Thunderbird can I attach and send it successfully. In the permissions settings for Thunderbird, I only see options for Camera and Contacts. There is no option for Files and Media. I couldn't find a solution to this problem anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions?
