AttachMate for Obsidian

Intro

This is a plugin for Obsidian that helps you when you drop attachments that Obsidian can't display natively (e.g. email messages dragged from Outlook). It offers two features:

  1. Remove preview of attachment from note. This is done by removing the exclamation mark before the attachment, so it will be [[attachment.msg]] instead of ![[attachment.msg]]

  2. Prompt for an alternative text to be displayed (can be turned off in settings). Instead of the attachment being displayed as [[RE RE latest update]], you can easily type in your own text, e.g. [[RE RE latest update|email about ACME status]] that will display instead of the attachment name.

Settings

In the settings it is possible to define what attachments to react to, by default these are .msg and .eml. It is also possible to turn off the functionality for adding a display text for the attachment.
