How to prevent Thunderbird from inserting attached (saved) web pages into the body of the text.
I often save web pages as mhtml files and send them to friends. I send them as attachments, but Thunderbird invariably ends up sticking the web page into the body of my message (and if I click on the attachment itself, I get nothing like the original mhtml file I attached -- all sorts of stuff missing). How to I prevent it being put into the body of my message, if possible? Does it have something to do with the fact that I have a checkmark next to, "Compose messages in HTML format?"
Would one solution be to simply put it into a zip file where Thunderbird cannot mess with it?
Thanks,
Dandelion

When you view a sent message in your Sent folder with an mht attachment, is it visible in the message body or like an inline attachment, or is it only recipients that see this?
Hi sfhowes,
Yeah, it's only when I view it in my Sent folder that I see that it is visible in the body of the message. Depending on the color of the web page, it even changes the background color of my message, which is kinda annoying.
HTML or plain text attachments are not displayed inline, by default, since TB 68, although there is a preference, mail.inline_attachments.text, that can be toggled to reverse this. What is the value in Config. editor? If it's false, the default, then I suppose you could zip the attachments.
