Chosen solution

re :All the icons I have is send spelling security and save

The most recent version has moved the 'Attach' button to the far right on the same toolbar. It is now above the area where the attachments would show. 'Attach' now also has addtional options.

quote: Attachment Management Improvements

Thunderbird 60 features several improvements to attachment handling in the compose window. Attachments can now be reordered using a dialog, keyboard shortcuts, or drag and drop. The “Attach” button has been moved to the right side of the compose window, above the attachment pane. The localized access key of the attachment pane (e.g. Alt+M for English) now also works to show or hide the pane (on Mac, it’s always Ctrl+M). Hiding a non-empty attachment pane will now show a placeholder paperclip to indicate the presence of attachments and avoid sending them accidentally. The attachment pane can also be shown initially when composing a new message: Right-click on the pane header to enable this option.

re: Moving the 'Attach' button In Write window 'View' > 'Toolbars' > select 'Customise' A 'Customise' window opens. You are not actually going to use the 'Customise' window, but you need it open to access the 'Composition Toolbar'. Left click and hold down on 'Attach' button in toolbar to grab it. Move it sideways to the left and release the left click to drop into location. Close the Customise window.
