This small fix is currently included with AttachmentExtractor but I plan to make it available as a standalone add-on as well for those who don't need/want AttachmentExtractor installed.
Thunderbird has an option to Display Attachments Inline (which is enabled by default) which works well until you detach the attachment. The attachment icon links to the detached file correctly but the inline image doesn't. The fix works by changing the code of message that Thunderbird displays within the messagepane or standalone window to point to the detached file so the image displays inline the same before.
By default Thunderbird, (quite sensibly) blocks all access to your local computer from within emails. To work the fix opens up hole in this block which could allow a script (and therefore an outside attacker) to access; copy; open; or delete the attachment you detached from your computer. A few caveats to this seemingly huge problem:
