Thunderbird email attachments disappear when message trashed

Thunderbird Attachments

When I trash an email, I can no longer view the attachments in the trash file, though the email itself remains until the setting for trash deletion has been reached. Since I have a gmail email address I can still view the attachments via the website for gmail. Does the attachment disappear on Thunderbird because of a setting - or is this a "feature" of Thunderbird?
