Thunderbird attachments

[slychiu]

Please return the attachments to the side as it was in older versions. I am on 102.3.2 (32-bit). Displaying attachents at the bottom is a bad idea. It forces you to dhow the email in its own window or to inxcraese the window size in order to see the attachment,. This is a pain!

Hi, I have the same problem with the last version : 102.7.2 (32 bits). It's a really pain!

I would like the developers to add the ability to select the location of attachments. For example, it would be more convenient for me to have attachments displayed at the top of the email immediately below the subject.

Yes, I am having a lot of problems with the attachments (hidden) at the bottom.  I am getting emails with written changes and edits in the body and I do those but Sometimes they also attach a file and since my attention is diverted by the email content. I never see the additional edits and changes.  This is happening often.  Can we at least change the font and size of the attachments at bottom to bigger and bolder and also the sign at the bottom that says "attachment" when the are attachments, Make that bigger bolder with color so you actually notice it!!!!

Is there any way to move the attachment list to the top of the message body?

We're now more than two years later, and I would still like to reiterate that having attachments at the bottom is a bad idea. I keep overlooking the attachments if they are not explicitly mentioned in the email itself.

[RonGreenfield]

Yeah  That has happened to me also,  I am used to it now tho, but not in love with it.

[Alexoptimistic]

Same here. I don't understand how this is not an option. And if it is a long chain of emails I have to scroll all they way down to see the attachments. Awful.

I agree, having attachments displayed at the bottom is less user-friendly. It adds extra steps just to preview or access files, especially on smaller screens or when multitasking. The sidebar view in older versions was much more efficient. Hopefully, the devs consider bringing back that layout as an option in future updates, as it made a big difference in usability
