Attachments up the top, not at the bottom

rusl · 23 May 2016, 04:02 PM

Am I the only person who thinks it would be better if attachments were listed (along with the previews and download links) above the email body instead of below it (and the associated quoted text including ten legal disclaimers)?

All too often I miss an attachment because it's all the way down the bottom, three screens below, and I don't bother scrolling through all the quote cruft!

I believe an attachment is more important than quoted text and should be listed up the top, just under the headers and just before the email body begins. Or at least I'd like to have that option.

Good question, rusl - what I would like to see even more is for all email companies to be consistent about this. Often I will waste time looking for attachments that I know should be there.

Agreed. I'd like to see the attachments UI in the compose screen brought over to the message screen.

Image previews are probably better kept at the bottom though.

Yes, I agree that listing attachments at the top of the message would be a nice improvement to the UI.

Perhaps they could also have a log out button on the top bar as well as 2 clicks to log out is so stupid
