Requested Thunderbird Enhancement and an Apparent Formatting Error

• Allow Attaching an Email to an Email

When reporting phishing emails to Comcast/Xfinity, they require an email attachment of the offending email, rather than just forwarding the email, so that they can easily read the metadata describing the source of the malware. I have to jump through hoops the provide that metadata (View Source) when forwarding the malware because I cannot attach the email to a new email to Comcast describing the problem.

• When I screen-scrape material with FireFox from a screen with embedded pictures, that material is not properly rendered when pasted into a Thunderbird email. Right-indents accumulate in the email until there is only a tiny-width stream of text and pictures that I cannot left-indent back to the original screen format. Surely Thunderbird should respect the indentation of a screen-scrape from FireFox. MS Outlook does.

I don't understand the problem. If you save the message as .eml it retains all of the headers. Then send the eml file as an attachment. No need to view source and extract.

Open a new message in a Write window, then add messages as attachments by drag and drop from the Threads Pane (message list) to the Write window.
