I don't really see where the time savings is, because no matter how you
do it, at some point, you will have to navigate to the file you want to
attach. You either do it in Explorer or in your email client.

I find that browsing, which I assume this method involves, is time-consuming.
On my system, which has a fairly complicated folder and subfolder structure to
accommodate many needs, browsing can take some trial and error. Since I
normally know where a file is located, I can navigate there much more quickly.

Do you find this method faster in Microsoft Outlook than typing Alt+H, A, F,
then selecting the file to be attached and typing Alt+S to attach it?

These instructions also work in Outlook, which leads me to suggest a third
option that may or may not work in Thunderbird.
Set focus at the file you want to attach without opening it. Copy it with
control-c.
Move focus to the body of the email message and press control-v to paste.
Even though you're in the message body, the file will show up as an attachment,
as a quick press of shift-tab will confirm.
In Outlook, it's the fastest method I know.

Hi!
I've been using Thunderbird for the past 18 months and have pretty much learned
how to do most things in it. So here are your instructions for sending an
attachment.
1. Compose your message, when you are ready to send it continue to the
next step
2. I use the keyboard shortcut, which is control+shift+A, but you can also get
there through the menus, to use the menus, start by pressing alt, this brings
up the file menu, arrow down to the attachment sub menu, then arrow right in
the attachment options, the first one is to attach a file, which is the only
option I've used so far.
3. You will get an Open File dialog, use it just like you would Windows
Explorer and browse to the file you want to attach. When you've selected the
file you want, press enter and it will be attached to your email message.
4. Repeat steps two and three for each file you want to attach.
5. Send your message.
Alternatively, if you have Thunderbird set as your default email client, you
can browse to the file you want to send in Windows Explorer, press the
application key, then arrow down to the send to sub menu, and in there choose
email recipient. A new email window will open with your file already attached.
