Microsoft excel allows me to see all the attachments received throughout a long conversation thread make it very convenient. Is there any way to get this feature for Thunderbird? I have to click 50 email messages to find old attachments that were sent to me, it is really frustrating. Please let me know if any addons do this, I'm surprised no one has talked about this before.

I use the QuickFilter Bar to filter, so it shows only messages with attachments, or use the Attachments button to sort by attachment.

Two other options to consider: enable the Attachments column in the Thread Pane (message list) to quickly see which messages have attachments, and search for attachments by name etc. with the Attachment Search Tab add-on.
