I have one person that sends me .jpg pictures in a Email and thunderbird can not display them , when I try to Open them I can only "Save" them to my Picture folder to view them. That person uses WindowsXP.
I recieve .jpg pictures from every one else and I can view them in Thunderbird.
have a look at; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2307 which may handle problem.
main problem is as kevin is telling you, if mime type is written wrong in email, thunderbird will have problem knowing what to do with attachment.
use <ctrl+u> to look at full email. you should have below message body something similar to;
|> --------------090209040005060100010505 |> Content-Type: image/jpeg; |> name="tbird app local folders.JPG" |> Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 |> Content-Disposition: inline; |> filename="tbird app local folders.JPG"
this is how thunderbird knows that attachment is a jpeg file.
being that sender is using ms xp, there is your major problem. ms does not comply with email rfc. if sender does not has file with a '.jpg' extension, ask them to try sending with extension name.
