Thunderbird normally sends plain text attachments inline, as part of the message body. If your recipient wants them to appear as real attachments add ''user_pref("mail.content_disposition_type", 1);'' to [[Modify_Thunderbird_settings | prefs.js or user.js]] . That should work unless the recipient configures their email client to display attachments inline. There is nothing you can do about that other than tell them its their own fault.
