Hi All,

after switching from Thunderbird on Mac (not sure which version i was running) to thunderbird on Windows (i am now running 78.8.1 64 bit) i am not able to print all attachement anymore, EG:

i have a mail that contains 5 attachements: 1 .xml, 1 .eml, 2 .pdf, 1 .p7m.

when printing the email, the attachement list does not contain the ".p7m" file into the inline list. The .p7m files are already linked to a default application in windows.

I couldn't find any filter into the advanced thunderbird option or anything else. Could this be something

Thank you for your help

That file type is a signature/certificate for s/mime and is not intended to be placed on paper at all and it is an encryption key, not user data as such. It therefore should not appear in the attachment list at all really.

I am guessing you think this file contains data of some other sort as the example you offer has a .pdf.p7m extension. It looks to me like a malformed email really, or an inappropriate use of the file extension.

Hi Matt, yes, that file is a signed file but is not for MIME. In italy lawyers must sign with Cades signature some files befor sending it to the law court. In fact, for some procedures these files are sent via the certified mailbox, then lawyers must print the email (with the attachement list) to bring is as a proof (italian burocracy is fantastic sometime).

It would be great to have an option in thunderbird to be able to select which type of extention should be excluded from the inline list.
