Semi-OT: Thunderbird Displaying Inline

Hi, folks,

This is odd. Just recently, at home, even though I have it set to display messages as plain text, I’m suddenly seeing pics attached to spam inline, as though I had it set to display html.

Can’t find anything to make it stop – anyone have a clue?

  • Hello Mark,

    You are probably being confronted with content with content-disposition:
    inline. Many muas display such content, exposing you to possible attacks that target bugs in rendering libraries.

    Not sure if there’s a switch to disable the rendering of content with disposition inline in TB but at least now you know what to search for :) . Evolution does not have such an switch on C6 and C7, but recent releases do: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?idv9388

    Regards, Leonard.

  • Hi, Leonard,

    Thanks. Knowing the “magic words” always helps in a search. Thing is, t-bird never *used* to do this – it’s only recently, I think….
