Description davidblunkett 2016-08-08 18:59:37 UTC

I get emails with huge numbers of quoted rubbish under them - it would be nice not to have to scroll down 100s of old emails to find the attachments - I realise (a) the mail format means that this isn't trivial and (b) smart attachment appear at the top but when I click these I'm warped to the bottom.

I'd quite like to read the email and view the inline attachments at the same time - maybe a separate side pane for attachments?

Reproducible: Always

This makes sense to me. Let's however clarify some things:

1) This report actually includes two issues: the first being "I can't see attachments while I'm scrolling through my (long) email", and the second "Clicking the attachment section at the top scrolls automatically to the bottom section"

2) "Appearing under the current email" probably means a pane outside/below the message box that is static and sticky, meaning that scrolling through an email does not hide this pane.

Please don't confirm wishlist report unless you're planning to work on it.

This report needs to be clarified anyway. It first talks about quoted things(?) then about attachments.

and there's already a way to display the message structure (including attachments) message / show message structure

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that.

I believe they were just referring to the email contents, which can include a series of replies that one might want to skim through but which is usually excessively long. Say you've read the first 5 replies in an email containing 12 and that was all you needed, now you just want to check the attachments. You need to scroll through a ton of "quoted rubbish", in this example, most likely up.

That works, although it uses quite a lot of extra vertical space (generally three extra lines).
