Thunderbird degrades attachment quality when sending
Hello, I have a Thunderbird problem: If I "print" a photo into a PDF, the PDF file is perfect. If I now send this file via Thunderbird, the recipient of the email, as well as I as the sender, receive the attachment in strips, in poor quality, unacceptable quality. The attachment is not particularly large and is under 5 MB. I use 2 email sender addresses from different providers that have no size limit. The recipient does not have this either. What is the problem? Kind regards, Charly

probably just not waiting long enough for the image to complete downloading. My boss keeps complaining about SMS or MMS messages having low quality images and they are because he is viewing them on his phone immediately the message is received and the software starts displaying the image before the whole image file is downloaded. Perhaps the same is happening here?
I can see no way for Thunderbird, without the help of third party products like an antivirus scanner or an addon to "shrink" images, to reduce the image to anything but what it is. You click attach and the file is converted to MIME encoded text the same as it has been for the last 20 or 30 years, when the recipients get the email the MIME text is converted back into an image.
