Hi all, how can I 1/ automatically forward mails 2/ in a way that attachments are NOT attached inline (even if they are incoming as inline)?

We forward all accounting emails to the accounting software. The accounting software, a SaaS, filters out all incoming emails, which have attachements attached inline.

Thus, I would like to attach all attachements "normal", not inline. Even if the attachment was attached inline originally.

thanks a ton in advance tom

1. Thunderbird is not really an appropriate way to do this. 2. Server configured message forwarding and filtering is far more appropriate as the server is up and running 24/7. The same can not be said for your PC. 3. Re-configuring email is not a function of Thunderbird filters and I am not aware of an addon that could do that. 4. All mail with pictures in the body of the email technically have attachments "inline" if the image is not hosted remotely.

You might be able to do some or all of that using the filtaquilla add-on and it's JavaScript actions, but the learning curve is quite steep u0pless you already know JavaScript. (I do not) https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/filtaquilla/
