Thunderbird - change default message forward mode from "inline" to "attached"

Posted by crox on
For years the default behaviour in Thunderbird had been to forward e-mails as attachments, but at some point it was changed to "inline". You can still manually choose how you'd like to transfer a message by going to "Message" -> "Forward as", but I couldn't find a way to set the default in the preferences.

There is, however, a way to change it without messing with manual edit of config files. Go to "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "Config Editor...", and look for "mail.forward_message_mode". 0 is for "attached", 2 is for "inline".
