I am indebted 2 your diligence. I have no problems working with your solution since its pretty much like regedit.

I have a rule set up that automatically forwards any incoming email to my gmail account, so I can view it on my phone. The problem lies in that the iPhone cannot view .eml attachments. I could solve this by setting up imap, but I currently have a bunch of accounts through various websites I run - so it's not very practical. My whole reasoning for switching from outlook to thunderbird was to rid myself of issues with outlook. Until this issue is addressed, I cannot use thunderbird.

Thanks! I have colleagues who have to use Outlook (poor souls), and the .eml attachments in my forwards weren't opening correctly for them half of the time. Now, no problems. Super-useful tip.

But either ways probably change the same setting, so why not through the advanced config thing. :) -grins- what ballardelle said!

And much easier to remember. Go to Tools > Options > Composition, General tab. First option is to set the forwarding behavior. Choose "inline" instead of "as attachment" and you're all set. I agree that this is an annoying default setting. One of the first things I change when I install Tbird for someone. The other thing I find truly puzzling in Tbird's default setup is that it doesn't highlight incoming high priority messages. By default the "Priority" column isn't even showing! So I create an incoming filter to make all high priority messages be tagged as "Important." That way they show up in red in my inbox, and catch my attention. There’s an easier way!
