When I reply to an e-mail, I need an option to have the current attachment of that e-mail (like in forwarding)

I would pay someone to fix this in Thunderbird. It has been asked for for years, but it does not seem to make it.

Here are some past threads on this, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1035396 https://superuser.com/questions/422300/how-to-reply-with-attachment-on-thunderbird

but it would be super helpful. It keeps the context of the message complete. and attachment sizes are not the burdensome things that they were decades ago.

The AttachExtraTools add-on offers this approach: copy an attachment from an existing message (context menu in attachment pane), then click the Attachments icon drop-down in a new message, 'Attachments from other messages'.

This also suggested in your second link.

To install in TB 60, first open Preferences/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click extensions.strictCompatibility to false, OK to close Prefs.

But I notice it's also possible to drag attachments from a message and drop them onto the attachment area of a new message (the area to the right of the addressing section).
