When someone has sent me for eg a jpg file, the file size is shown in the "size"
column but no attachment can be seen or accessed. I was able to view them for
the first few days, but since then, nothing. Even emails that had attachments
that I could originally view, are no longer there, the message is, but not the
attachment

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check email
2. Click on message with known attachment


Actual Results:  
Cannot see attachment

Expected Results:  
Shown or displayed the attachment

can you please rename the file "abook.mab" in your mozilla user profile ?
see the release notes for the path on your os.

(This file is the mozilal Adressbook and you can rename it later back)

this happened to me too (the from, subject, to was shown inside the text message
window, and i couldnt see attachments), i was linking abook.mab to my win32 one,
apparently i checked again and it showed it wasnt pointing anywhere (dead link)
so i removed it and made a symlink link to the correct file.. it works now! thx
Matthias

maybe there should be some kind of error message if it doesnt find abook.mab or
it's a link to nonexistent file

I never got a response from the original reporter :-(

I mark this now as dupe of bug 106461
