Tbird 128.7.1 on W11 64 bit

I want to see the full headers of some messages to see flags and produce a customised search. However, when I toggle View>Headers to Full from Normal, nothing changes, and I don't see all the header detail, just the basics. I've tried running this in Troubleshooting mode with all add-ons disabled, but no change.

This used to work OK in earlier versions, but I hardly ever need to see header details, except on this occasion.

What I'm trying to achieve is a search for a particular from/to, but only emails with attachments, and over a number of folders, and I think the headers will give me the code for an attachment present.

attachments existence or otherwise do not form a part of a message header. The values stored in the X=mozilla headers may offer some insight, but I am not sure of all the values and what they mean.

I think what you want is a find style search Ctrl+Shift+F that will allow you to search on attachments existing and sender. It will only do one folder at a time, but I am not aware of a nulti folder method except the global search Ctrl+K where you can use filters after the initial query on say sender address.
