why does the attachement icon indicator (paper clip) only appear after the message is selected?

In my inbox there should be an attachment indicator (paper clip) appearing on all messages that have an attachment, however, the icon only appears after the message is selected. So there is no way of knowing if a message contains an attachment without clicking on it. This is IMAP mail through Godaddy. thank you

Now, can we move on.

Is the mail set to synchronize or only download bodies when selected? My guess is the latter as the attachment forms part of the body so the header that is downloaded to form the mail list has no information about attachments. Hence Thunderbird becomes aware of an attachment once the body is downloaded.

Thank you, however, this is for IMAP email so I don't have the option of 'fetching headers only' as with POP email.
