693125 - Missing (not displayed) attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 674473

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, defect)

Description

[Julius Adam]

Attachment: EML file with "no" (missing) attachment

User Agent: Opera/9.64 (Windows NT 5.1; U; cs) Presto/2.1.1

Steps to reproduce:

I received a e-mail send with an attachment (jpeg file, powerpoint file and others).
Most of he emails are sent from Outlook (unknown version). Files are sent as normal files; not as winmail.dat.


Actual results:

No attachment was shown. Displayed message size is correct (with attachment).

On forwarding the message "Did you not forget to add attachment" warning appeared (back translation ftom SK). Message is send without the attachment.


Expected results:

Attachment should be shown (and with able to save the file).

This problem do not occured on older version of Thunderbird, also not on other clients.

Workarround:
Save file as EML, decode (split) with other tools (e. g. Total Commader).

This message is strictly invalid as it uses an image with a Content-Disposition of attachment in a Content-Type: multipart/related context, and in addition doesn't refer to the image in the text part using its Content-ID at all.

Anyway, this issue fits the description of bug 674473 (unreferred-to inline part).
