Problem with *.jpg images

When I receive attachments like image.bmp , image.gif, image.jpeg and image.png in Thunderbird, I can simply double click on the attached filenames to open them in Photos. But double clicking on attached image.jpg doesn't work, and I must first save it to some folder and there double click to open it in Photos.

So how do I add "JPG Image" to [Tools/Settings/General/Files & Attachments/Content Type] where the other image types are listed?

Weirdly I had to do nothing, the problem resolved itself. Though "JPG Image" does still not appear in 'Files & Attachments'.

But anyway thank you for your reply.

The following is the same process if you get an attachment and it is not listed in 'Files & Attachments' and you need to choose what to use to open it.

  • Right click on attachment and choose 'Open'
  • A pop up window asks you 'What should Thunderbird do with this file?'
  • At this point you may discover 'Save file' is selected.
  • Select the option 'Open with' and choose 'Photos (default)'
  • Select the checkbox 'Do this automatically for files like this from now on'
  • Click on 'OK'

The "JPG Image" will get added to [Tools/Settings/General/Files & Attachments/Content Type] after you next restart Thunderbird.

But I would advise checking it to make sure the Photos option is selected.
