How to Turn Off Forwarding Emails as Attachments in Thunderbird
Friday, 25 April 2008

By default, Firefox Thunderbird will forward email as attachments with the .eml extension. This hasn't been a problem for me until today when the recipient's email server blocked by email due to the attachment. There is a way to switch to inline forwarding, however, Thunderbird has made it a bit difficult for average users. Here's how to turn the default and switch to inline forwarding:

In Thunderbird select:

Tools >Options >Advanced > General > Config Editor

The "Config Editor" will be a button on the right side bottom under the "General" sub-tab of "Advanced". 

The Config Editor looks like this:

 

Type "forward" into the input box until you get an option that looks like this:

 

Double click on the row and change the value from "0" to "2"

 

And that's it. Your emails will now forward as inline and not attachments in Thunderbird.

Well this is definately something I have never considered when forwarding email. I think I will have to look into this since I use Firefox and want to ensure that all the mail is being forwarded with whatever attachments needs to be sent with it.

I gave Firefox a try, but this was one of the reasons I got rid of it, who wants all that fuss just to send an email

Thanks for the tip. It really worked. Now I don't have to copy and paste my forwarding email to make them inline as many people told me that they are having some problems with the forwarding email that I sent to them.
