When a file is attached, users are forced to download it to view it rather than having it open in a browser window. Where do I change that setting?

It depends on what kind of file it is, I think. What kind of files are you wanting to display?

A pdf file is what would be used most often and I think we could restrict it to that. A jpeg is another option. I found the setting to allow the attachments, just would like it to open automatically instead of forcing a download which some users won’t take the time to do. thanks!

In forum posts how do you allow the file to open rather than recipients being forced to download file
