Hi all. I am currently using Thunderbird 24.4.0 so I don't know if newer version may have this feature.

On the main screen, I select several emails and right-click. There we will get "Forward as attachment" on the list. If we choose that, those emails will be put in attachment of a new email.

My question is, is there any way we can indeed put those emails as attachment but leave out the attachment of each respective email selected?

For example, I have 3 email: Subject: one. with attachment 1.txt Subject: two. with attachment 2.txt Subject: three. with attachment 3.txt I select those three with Ctrl+Click on my main Thunderbird screen. Then I right-click and choose "Forward as attachment". I will be brought into new email screen with those three email as attachment already but have their respective attachment brought along. While what I need is to attach those three email without 1.txt, 2.txt, and 3.txt. It is because the recipient of my email does not need those attachment. How can I get this done?

PS: Deleting or detaching the attachment on each respective email beforehand is not preferable.

Thank you.
