292382 - mail header not appearing above certain messages

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050429

In Mail & Newsgroups, e-mails that have attachments and/or consist of HTML don't
get their header displayed above the message (for the record, they are being
opened in a new window).

By toggling View > Display Attachments Inline, you can get the header to show
again on the message with attachment(s) you are viewing.

If the message doesn't have an attachment, you can show the header by
View > Headers > All
and then
View > Headers > Normal

I included some e-mails of my own (sensitive information edited out), minus the
attachments (though that doesn't change the result), to illustrate the problem.

Note: it doesn't seem to be there anymore, but there was an extra issue with
build 20050423 that you wouldn't be able to save the attachment after making the
header appear if "Display Attachments Inline" was checked.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mail & Newsgroups
2. Open the e-mail with an attachment/HTML content

Actual Results:  
The message showed with the header missing.

Expected Results:  
Showed both the message and its header.
