Is there a way in Thunderbird to find a particular type of attachment ?

Hi all,

I know how to search Thunderbird emails using the "right-click on a folder" method to "Search messages" to list only those emails which have attachments.

What I would like to do is narrow that down further so that the results only show attachments of a certain type of attachment e.g. just PDFs, or just PNGs.

Is there a way to do that ?

I don't care about matching the filename of the PDF or PNG just that it *IS* a PDF or PNG filetype.

Thanks.

I've just discovered an add-on called "Expression Search - NG" which does what I need - it is very featured and is a better version of the standard "right-click on a folder" method of searching.

Thanks for sharing that solution.

It seems a little bit buggy but the author has noticed this had happened from going from Thunderbird 115 to 128 and is working on fixes ( because some of the internals of 128 have changed ).

My problem with it reported here: https://github.com/opto/expression-search-NG/issues/133
