Features
- Automatically attaches files from the original email when replying.
- Configurable behavior: attachments can be
- added automatically, or
- added only after confirmation (a small, accessible dialog). In Options you can enable the confirmation and choose the default answer (Yes/No).
- Blacklist of filenames (glob patterns) prevents specific files from being
attached automatically. Examples:
*intern*,*secret*,*passwor*. Matching is case-insensitive and checks the filename only; provide one pattern per line in Options. - Blacklist warning (optional, enabled by default): when files are excluded by your blacklist, a small modal lists the file and the matching pattern(s). Dark-mode friendly and keyboard accessible (Enter/Esc to close).
- Works with Reply and Reply all. Forward is not modified by this add-on.
- Adds originals even if you already attached something yourself; avoids duplicates by filename.
- Per-tab duplicate guard prevents double-adding in the same compose tab.
- Skips S/MIME certificates by default to avoid unnecessary attachments.
- Embedded images are left to Thunderbird: they stay in the reply body and are not
copied as file attachments. An image that only carries a
Content-IDwithout being referenced is treated as a normal attachment and copied.
How It Works
- On reply, the add-on lists original attachments.
- Filters out S/MIME signatures from file attachments; inline images are restored in the body (unless disabled).
- Optionally asks for confirmation (keyboard-friendly).
- Adds eligible files to your compose, avoiding duplicates by filename.
- See "Why attachments might not be added" in Usage for edge cases.
Privacy note: All processing happens locally in Thunderbird. The add-on makes no background network requests.
