Hi. There is an option "display attachments inline" under the "view" tab. It was working great for me for many years. After the last update of Thunderbird the TXT files stopped to display. I see JPG files correctly inline but TXT not. Can you help?

Chosen solution

I got the solution.


From the [https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/68.0/releasenotes/ release notes\: "Textual attachments (plain text, HTML, XML, etc.) are no longer displayed inline. Toggle preference mail.inline_attachments.text to display them inline again."

Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor, double-click a preference to toggle its value.

I have "DISPLAY ATTACHMENTS INLINE" enabled but this setting makes no difference: html attachments don't display. Toggling, and restarting makes no change. With older Thunderbird, attached html files displayed inline, but since upgrading to 68.6.0 they don't. Both old and new emails aren't displayed inine, so something has changed with the app. I'm running OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra.
