Threading, missing associations
Why is threading enabled by default in TB after installation? I add an existing IMAP account to the program. I set sorting by date. If someone replies to an email from a month ago, it's difficult to find it in threading. It used to be possible to enable it manually, but now it's enabled by default. TB can also lose attachment opening preferences in programs after an update, such as .pdf or .doc. Note that some PDF documents don't display correctly in the built-in preview and require the use of Adobe Reader.

TB’s default threading can be frustrating, especially with long conversations. One trick I use is to temporarily disable threading for accounts where chronological order matters. Regarding PDFs and docs, I’ve had better luck opening them externally rather than relying on the built-in preview.

You can turn off global threading in settings.
OK, i know. But what this is default on??

Right. That's how I set it up. LibreOffice, Adobe Reader. But after a TB update, it can lose these settings. I manage fine, but less technical users get confused when attachments suddenly stop opening correctly.
