Incoming messages put inline images as attachments, even when I have the "display attachment inline" selected
I get a daily newsletter that includes 15+ png images and within Thunderbird these appear as attachments at the bottom and not inline. How can I get them to show up within the message body?

Are you viewing in original html, simple html or plain text? Try: 'Menu icon' > 'View' > 'Message body as ' > 'Original html'
I am viewing it as original HTML and unfortunately it still not showing inline images. Very frustrating!

Do you know if the email was contructed by someone using a Word/Outlook combination ? Notorious for not encoding properly. You would need to view the source. select email so it shows in Message Pane click on 'More' and select 'View source'
Do you see something like this:
- Content-Type: image/jpeg;
- name="IMAGE_1.jpg"
- Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
- Content-Disposition: inline;
- filename="IMAGE_1.jpg"
or maybe
- Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
- name="IMAGE_2.jpg"
- Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
- Content-Disposition: attachment;
- filename="IMAGE_2.jpg"
Post what you see in source. It will look similar to the above examples.
Thank you for your help on this, it does look like the disposition here is "attachment" for all images. No way to change that unless the sender changes it?
