Thunderbird Email body includes the attachement

[keith smith]

Thanks!  The only place I did not look was at the menu.  Turned off View attachments inline and now I can view the email just fine.

Thanks!

I used to use Thunderbird in XP, now I use it in ubuntu.  I have often received emails with attached zip files and had no problem with them.  I've no idea why you might have had the problem but I would look elsewhere.


Ask the sender if he really did attach the zip file.  Ask him if he attached it using the attachment button or if he dragged and dropped it on his email program.Try opening the headers fully (View/Headers/All) and look for clues
Turn off View attachments inline (in the View Menu) and try again

Hi,

I use Thunderbird on win xp.  When I get a message with an attachment it is always  included in the body of the email.

Today I received an email with two attachments, one was a text file and the other a zip file.  I could not open the message.  I assume it has to to do with Thunderbird wanting to include the zip in the body of the message.  


I've Googled and checked help, as well as poked around Thunderbird to no avail.  

I am stuck.  Any suggestions are much appreciated.
