<p dir="auto">The issue here is that images (which are most often not in pdf format) are the only attachments that MailMate can, optionally, show inline. This is because MailMate only generates a single HTML part for the email and images are shown using the <code style="margin: 0 0; padding: 0 0.25em; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7;">img</code> element. There is, as far as I know, no way to do the same for other types of attachments although I could be mistaken (if you have an example then you can forward it to me as an attachment and I can take a look at the HTML used).</p>
<p dir="auto">So, how do other email clients do it? It has been a while since I looked into this, but I believe Apple Mail used multiple message parts to do this. Something like this (simplified):</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">multipart

<p dir="auto">MailMate could do something similar (it would require a lot of work), but I'm sceptical this would work well in all receiving email clients.</p>
<p dir="auto">In other words, don't expect this to change. Sorry.</p>

<p dir="auto">You can try “Help > Send Feedback” when the mailing list has no answer for you. I don't get around to answering all emails, but I do my best.</p>
