# Read mail

Open conversations, view attachments, and see a message's details.

Mira groups an email and its replies into one conversation. Select a conversation in the list to open it; Mira marks it as read.

## Messages in a conversation

The newest message and any unread ones are open, and the others are folded so the conversation stays short. Select a message to open or fold it. Quoted text from earlier emails is hidden: select **Show quoted message** to see it.

Each message has a menu, **More message actions**, with **Reply**, **Reply all**, **Forward**, **Print** and **Show original**. **Show original** opens the message's source with its headers, for when you need the exact message ID or want to check where an email came from.

Select the arrow under the sender's name, **Show details**, to see who the message was sent to, copied to, and the full date.

## Attachments

Attachments show at the end of their message. Select one to open it:

- Images and PDFs open in Mira's viewer, where you can zoom and move between attachments with **Previous attachment** and **Next attachment**.
- Other files download.

Select **Download** to save any attachment to your device.

## Images in emails

Mira loads images in emails through its own servers, so senders do not see your IP address or device. To decide for each email whether images load, turn on **Ask before showing images** for the mailbox. See [Mailbox settings](https://mirahq-stg.app/docs/mailboxes/mailbox-settings).

## Print

Select **Print conversation** in the conversation's toolbar to print every message, or **Print** in a message's menu for one message.
