Thunderbird may truncate the attachment's filename when displaying it. You can prevent this by adding the following to the userChrome.css file in the chrome subdirectory in in your profile folder. The file does not exist by default, so you may need to create it before you can start adding your preferences.
.attachmentBox {
width: auto !important;
max-width: none !important;
min-width: 15em !important;
}
Notes:
- For Thunderbird 8.0 and later, change ".attachmentBox" to "attachmentitem" [1]. You may also need to apply the code to keep the attachment pane expanded to avoid that the item width is reset to the default.
- Expect further changes with Thunderbird 10.0, which introduces variable grid width depending on the largest attachment name.
