When I forward a message I like to have the option of scrolling through the content and commenting in between the paragraphs of the forwarded message.
Thunderbirds default behaviour is to forward messages as attachments:
However to be able to edit the forwarded email you need to Go to Tools ==> Options ==> Composition ==> General Tab and change the Forwarded Messages: field from As Attachment to Inline as shown in the next screen shot:
thx 4 the info. i've been wonderin why is it always attachment.
thx again
On my Thunderbird 3.0, this option is under Edit - Preferences - Composition -General tab...
but I didn't see it till I looked at the screenshot here, so thanks..
Something about the options in TB3 makes it hard to see for some reason, I had to look here as well.
TB 3.1.3 it's moved again
Tools ==> Options ==> Composition ==> General Tab ==> Forward Messages: [Inline|As Attachment]
