How to reply with attachment on Thunderbird

Thunderbird 12.0.1, install addon - "with Attach 3.0"

below is quoted from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/withattach/

As the author says, it will supply "reply with attachment" , but nothing found.

Is there someway else can satisfy this requirement?

About this Add-on

This extension adds a menu option (and a toolbar button) to compose an email "with attachments".

Also adds context menu options and toolbar buttons to "reply with attachment" and "reply all with attachment".

If you try to send the email without attachments, you are warned about it and asked to confirm your action.

Added option to scan messages for "attachment keywords". If the message contains some of the user defined keywords and has no attachments, you are warned about it.

As many other user raised the same requirement, I just want to emphasize that: what we want is to reply the mail with original attachment, without any more action. As now, it will only warn me if I forget the attachment, if I wish to "reply with attachment".

4 star to encourage the update!

Reading the question, it seems that the add-on does work. It is just that you want a slightly different action to be done.

Upon replay, the new message is addressed to the same addressees that was addressed in the replayed message, they all already have the attachment. Thus, there is no logical reason to send it again.

You can use the forward action to introduce the message with the attachment to a third party. In this way the new addressee will get the attachment with context. You can also later replay to the original addressees with some informative contents letting them know you have forwarded the message. It will prevent unnecessary load on their message box and redundant network traffic.
