hi I would like to right click on an attachment and print without viewing. thanks
When we used outlook. I could right click on an attachment and choose print- for a fast print. As I only want to print invoices and statements, I do not wish to open first. As I need to print quickly, so I can file it in the account book. As we have over 80 suppliers it is very slow to have to open the attachment, then click print, then to okay it. One click for fast print would be perfect

What's the document file format? PDF, DOC, DOCX?
Hello Most of the documents are PDF
hello I would still like to know if I can do a fast print on right click.
I don't know of any way to do this directly. Thunderbird only knows how to associate an attached document with a viewer application. I don't think it has any easy way to pass on an instruction as to how that application should go forward.
If your pdf viewer has a command line switch that would make it print then maybe you could create a batch file to launch it, incorporating this switch, and in Thunderbird associate the batch file with the document type.
But Thunderbird itself knows nothing about pdf so can't process the document by itself. It has to delegate that to an appropriate application.
Not sure if your interested, but I saved each attachment to a folder called printing (in my Documents- Windows).
Then after I had chosen all the invoices by right clicking- to save as-. I would go to the printing folder, select all the docs and print. It seemed to only want to print 10 at a time, but it is still faster than opening up each individual doc attachment in Mozilla Thunderbird, which to do it that way would always take at least 4 clicks. Cheers
