The latest update to Thunderbird email client shows the attachments under a separate panel. I'd like the panel to display expanded automatically.
How do I do that? It doesn't seem to be in the help files or the release notes.

As per this writeup on the Attachment Pane Redesign on MozillaZine, you can add the following to userChrome.css to remove the attachment toggles:
#attachmentView > [collapsed="true"] {
visibility: visible !important;
}
#attachmentToggle {
display: none !important;
}
Edit: Corrected filename to userChrome.css

Right-click on the attachment pane, and click "Initially Show Attachment Pane."
(The option was added in Thunderbird v24 and up.)
And it seems as if it this option was removed again. At least I can't find it in Thunderbird 38.7.0. – Andreas – 2016-04-03T17:42:22.843
It's here in 45.8.0 and saved me when userChrome.css
was ignored by TB – patricktokeeffe – 2017-04-05T20:31:29.963

This ability to change this through the UI has been removed in newer versions, but it still exists in about:config (Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor...)
Set mailnews.attachments.display.start_expanded
to true

In the version I have, 45.6.0, there is an option under the View tab to Display Attachments Inline that worked for me.
Thanks. I ended up using the "Attachment Options" extension referenced in the article. – Brad Bruce – 2011-07-21T10:59:02.737
Sanjay- nice call, I used the code in your answer however you should note, the file and directory probably need to be created and the file name is not userContent.css (that has a different purpose) it is userChrome.css. – None – 2012-05-02T14:25:12.877
Ahh .. good catch on the filename. I'm updating my answer. – Sanjay Sheth – 2012-05-04T18:11:08.577
