1736519 - MailExtension API Request: Query for attachments

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: Extensions API, enhancement)

Description

[Ryan Lee Sipes]

An add-ons developer should be able to query a set of messages for attachments. For instance, being able to find all emails by an author and containing an attachment.

let attachmentEmail = await messenger.messages.query({author: sender, attachment: true})

That's how I imagine it, at least.
