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:
-
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]]
-
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.
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.
