After we worked out how to limit the height of the attachments pane in Thunderbird, Windows users now have to deal with big attachment icons.
What’s up with that? 🙂
Here’s how to make those icons small:
Go to Tools–>Options–>Advanced–>General, and click on “Config Editor“. In the Config Editor, search for the preference mailnews.attachments.display.largeView. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false.
I wanted to have an options reference page ready for the Thunderbird Help site, when Thunderbird 2 is released; but it looks like I won’t be able to get it done on time.
I’ve updated the wiki page, with screenshots in a table, and my work so far. If anyone is willing to contribute to that document, please do. Once we’ve got definitions for all the option settings, I’ll reformat it for the the Thunderbird Help site.

In 2002, the Toronto Maple Leafs were facing the Ottawa Senators in the second game of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Sens won the first game; so game 2 was seen as a must win for the Leafs. I watched every second of that game, hoping that my beloved Leafs would win. That game went to overtime. After one overtime period, the game was still tied, and I turned off the television. Why? Because it was my Easter, and I had to leave for church. I didn’t find out, until I heard on the radio on the way home, that the Leafs had won the game in the third overtime period. May my commitment to God never be questioned. I missed triple overtime! 🙂
Tonight, the Toronto Maple Leafs play the Montreal Canadiens in a win-or-die game sponsored by BetVictor; and of course, I have to go to church for Easter. 🙂
Users of Mozilla Thunderbird, may have noticed that if you are viewing messages in threaded view, clicking on a column name (other than the thread column) will turn off threaded view.
What if you want to keep threaded view on? Go to Tools–>Options–>Advanced–>General, and click on “Config Editor“.
In the Config Editor, search for the preference mailnews.thread_pane_column_unthreads. Double-click on it, which should change the value to false.
That’s it. 🙂
As I’ve said before, sometimes the actions of developers scare me.
