How do I get the attachments above the message body?

[TerriToniAX]

I'm used to having attachments displayed above the message body like in MS Outlook and OE. In Thunderbird, however, the attachments are displayed beneath the message body, which has made me miss at least one urgent document enclosed with an e-mail. Now, how do I make Thunderbird display the attachments on top of message bodies?

You can use userChrome.css to do that. For example:

Code: Select all

#messagepanebox {-moz-binding: url("userChrome.xml#messagepane-binding");}

and in the same directory create a new text file named userChrome.xml:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE bindings>

<bindings id="user-chrome-bindings"
   xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl"
   xmlns:xul="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul">

<binding id="messagepane-binding" extends="xul:vbox">
   <content>
      <children includes="deck"/>
      <children includes="hbox"/>
      <spacer/>
      <children/>
      </content>
   </binding>

</bindings>

Wow, that was a quick reply!

Yes, that did the trick! Thanks a lot!

Note that the above does not work in Thunderbird 3. See: viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1781245
