I think what that setting means that if you do decide to forward something via TB, you can choose having the forwarded article or whatever it is as an attachment (probably as a proprietary file of some sort) and then allowing you to send a regular email explaining that the forwarded whatever is attached, or have it inline, meaning it would be sent as an forwarded post as it is often done.

if this does not mean what I described, or doesn't work as you thought, or it does, let the list know, since I also use TB, and would be interested to

Re: [JAWS-Users] how can I forward an email with an attachment in
Thunderbird
I'm not an aficionado, I don't think there is such a setting to not
forward an attachment, but here's something to check:
press the alt for menu bar, t for tools, o for options.
use the up/down arrow keys to find the composition category.
press tab once.
press the right or left arrow keys to find the general tab.
press the tab ke until you get to Check for missing attachments check
box, and make sure it is checked.
keep pressing tab until you get to the ok button, and press space bar.
now try sending (forwarding) the attachment if the check box was
previously unchecked.

Sounds like either your Thunderbird is set to not allow forwarding
attachments, or your recipients email client is not allowing attachments to
come through. Check your settings first. I don't ThunderBird so can't help
you with specifics.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] how can I forward an email with an attachment
inThunderbird

I have this email with an attachment and every time I go to forward it
to a friend the attachment is missing when the recipient gets the e mail.
so my question is how can I forward this email to my friend so that the
attachment stays on the email ?
I am using windows 8.1  and the latest Thunderbird.
thanks in advance
