And I consider "best ergonomy" plain text emails, not top posting and replying only to the list. But we clearly can't always get what we want. > > As an example, for emails received from my surveillance IP Cam, > emails contain only 3 photos.

I just wish a parameter in the menu which enables to do it by > default, without clicking. That sounds more like how the HTML of the email is configured. Or more to the point, are the images actually attached or does the arrow open a browser and displays them from a web site - i.e. are those "arrows" actually URL links? Or do you mean that all you see is the attachment list at the bottom of the email and there's actually no content other than the attachments? Have you looked to see if there is some configuration in the camera software to change how the images are presented in the emails? > (The same with different type of attached documents, as in > Thunderbird) No, don't auto-open / inline random document types. That is the classic way to spread malware. And Evolution is not Thunderbird (or Outlook). They are designed differently so it's not possible to have all the features of all the MUAs repeated everywhere. > What is said in > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1291 is too > sophisticated for me ... > Err, OK. It was just an indication that there is work going on around the presentation of images, I didn't expect you to get involved. Often work on more "sophisticated" things results in improvements, or facilitates improvements, in other areas. Again, if you think this is a needed feature, then you need to file a feature request - you probably need to phrase it around "inlining attached images". I suspect there will be issues around how the images are displayed - the inline images are handled by GTK (I think) as part of displaying the message, but the attachment bar is just a GTK widget with no rendering capabilities, that is basically what the bug I referenced was dealing with. If you do file a feature request, please post the bug URL here so people searching in the future can find it.
