Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi there, Just installed Thunderbird email. Before uninstalling Outlook 2016, I tried to forward some messages to Thunderbird, but Thunderbird will not show emabedded images or attached photos, regardless of format (JPG, WEBP or PNG) Example: Instead of the image embedded in the email, I got this: g:20260201194950ee722ec300f042669bef9585ca10p0eu&R=1KSFSC960P76L&T=O&U=https %3A%2F%2Fimages-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fnav%2Ftransp.gi f&H=8QFJAA9HOQ1LXLAKNXLPWFHXGSSA&ref_=pe_109088481_1104238771_opens>

I have Original HTML in Thunderbird settings, not changed anything. How do I resolve this? I appreciate your help

docx and xlsx attached files don't open with I click on them. I want them to open in Word and Excel. Nothing happens. I have to save them to my Desktop and then I can open them.

doc and xls attached files open when I click on them.

I can't find any associations in "files and attachments". 

I'm using version 140.7.0esr (64-bit)

My problem is that JPEG attachments don't open, though PNGs do. I've got Original HTML actioned. Defaults are set to Fastone Image Viewer. Right click shows options but "open" doesn't work. Any ideas?

Seit kurzem, ich glaube seit dem letzten Update, werden mir Anhänge (in meinem Fall automatisch hinzugefügte Anhänge von WISO Mein Büro) immer mit dem Namen des Pfades verschickt, wo die Datei vorübergehend gespeichert wird. Fürher hat es immer einen kurzen Namen (Rechnung Nr. XY) genommen. Ist das jetzt ein Problem von Thunderbird oder WISO? Kennt jemand das Problem?

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!

By right clicking an image, there is a menu which has more options, and in more options there is "send to". By clicking "mail recipient", a dialog opens up to select the file size preferred. Then click attach. At this point, in windows 10, the email is ready with attachment in Thunderbird. Now, new PC with windows 11, when I click attach, the dialog disappears, but no email appears in Thunderbird. I have checked settings, and Thunderbird is chosen for .eml and for MAILTO Does anyone know how to make this work in windows 11?

I cannot open attachments directly in an email with a double click, Probably since a week or so back. I have to copy the link address and insert it into a web reader. There is no command in the settings as I can see Quite a nuisance, Best regards, Gustaf

Whenever I get an email that says they are including an attachment, the attachment is never there. What is going on and how to I get email attachments. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

Have been forwarding all my AOL mail to Thunderbird for years without problem.

About 2 wks ago, email with attachments stopped being forwarded. Emails without attachments are forwarded without problem. AOL says nothing changed on their end although I noted that the "Forwarding" tab no longer appears on their mail choice menue.

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.

Godt nytårJeg har forsøgt at oprette filelink og skal så oprette en konto, synes det ser besværligt ud når man ikke kender til den slags , men div. adresser og konto. Jeg får på skærmen besked på at gå til fanebladet udgående. men udgående kan jeg ikke se nogen steder.

Vedr. oprettelse af kom´nto til webdaw vil jeg gerne hvis jeg kan få en uddybende forklaring på hvor og hvad jeg skal skrive . Foreløbig tak for hjælp

Hi,

When I search the web for this I get loads of results telling me how to insert emojis in emails I'm sending. That is not my problem.

The problem I have is that someone keeps sending a single emoji as a reply to an email. Instead of displaying that it adds it as an attachment which is really annoying.

How do I fix that? I've already set TB to display images inline but that has no impact.

I'm running TB 146.0b3 (32-bit) although I don't know why. Is there not a 64 bit version and does the b3 mean I'm running a beta version? How do I get to run a 64 bit version?

Thanks,

Leo

I was in the process of searching my files to attach one to an email when the attachment window suddenly expanded from approx 50% of the screen to almost full screen and I can find no way to reset it. I can see the sideand bottom edges of the window, and move the expand/contract arrow on the cursor to these sides and the bottom corners, but it does not operate, and there is no button to minimise or adjust it. I have just checked and it is operating perfectly fine on both Firefox and the main Thunderbird window, and email viewing windows. Is this a change to the program settings - it appears to only apply to the "Attach" setting - viewing attachments and emails are as they always were.

Hello

In my Inbox I have a number of photo taken on a smartphone and sent using Gmail to my Thunderbird Inbox with Email address roger@apusapus.co.uk I then use the SAVE AS tab to create a file in jpg format

I attach the file to an E Mail and sent it using Mozilla Thunderbird

The people who get the Email tell me the attached file is empty

THIS IS A NEW PROBLEM TO PLEASE INVESTIGATE
