edit as new for msg with attachments sends original file contents, not new contents
I recently converted from Eudora 7 to TB 24.6 on Windows. TB seems to be working ok except for one issue.
I have a email with 5 files attached. Those files get updated occasionally and I need to resend them. With Eudora I would do a "send again" and the contents of the updated files would be attached and the email sent.
With TB I go to the sent folder and do edit as new. When I send the email it sends the contents of the old files not the updated contents. I have to remove all the attached files and then attach them again to get the new contents. This is very inconvenient.
Is there a way to do the same sort of "send again" that Eudora allowed?

No there is not. Eudora stored attachments in a folder and grabbed them when required. Thunderbird encodes them at the time they are attached so there is on disk file to update.
What you seriously need to consider is storing the files in one of the file services on the internet and using links to the files in your mail. Google drive will automatically sync files with your PC and allow you to send links to the internet copies in your mails.

Thanks for the reply.
That solution really doesn't work for my user base. They really need the file, not a link to a file in the cloud somewhere.
I like TB but IMO this is quite a pronounced deficiency in TB. I would like to see the developers create a option that would cause TB to go reread the file attachment when the edit as new is done.

If you have a link, you have the file.
Your the first person I have seen ask for such a thing in four years. So I would suggest it will not be much of a priority.
I beg to differ. You only have a link if you have no connection when you need the file contents. Not able to work offline. I still think it is a problem. Enough said.
