Description
Checklist
- I have used the search function to see if someone else has already submitted the same bug report.
- I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
App
Thunderbird for Android
App version
12.0b6
Where did you get the app from?
F-Droid
Android version
14
Device model
Samsung Galaxy S21 5G
Steps to reproduce
- Send an attachment from desktop Thunderbird (I am using https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird-mobile/android/nightly/latest-main/thunderbird-13.0a1.apk).
- Check the size of the file (it's around 12MB)
- Receive the email with the attachment on Android.
- Check what's displayed as a size when you first read the e-mail.
- It shows 17.5 MB (see the screenshot)
For a safety aware person this might mean a lot - someone tampered the file while transfering.
A note: If you visit the email the second time, it shows a correct number.
Expected behavior
it should show the correct size of the attachment
Actual behavior
it shows a wrong size

Research direction
Start by reproducing the attachment-size display on Android 14 with Thunderbird for Android 12.0b6, using the listed desktop and nightly app setup. Compare the size shown on first read with the size shown on a subsequent visit; done means the initial display matches the correct attachment size.
