Bug 1733315 Comment 5 Edit History

Note: The actual edited comment in the bug view page will always show the original commenter’s name and original timestamp.

Hi Victor, this is unlikely to be a bug in Thunderbird. Maybe something odd about the MIME structure of the message (what you call "letter") which you're forwarding. We need a lot more detail from you for this to go anywhere...

Forwarding a message with attached PDF works for me on TB 91.1.2 (64-bit), Win10. Reported against Mac.
Victor, can you please try the following steps exactly, to inspect the outgoing message in your own outbox?
- with your trouble-PDF
- then with another PDF (from a different source)

STR
1. Right-click on message A with subject "hello world" and attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf
2. From context menu, select `Forward As > Inline` (!)
3. In composition window of message B (Fwd: hello world), add recipient
4. File -> Send *Later* (!)
5. Check message B in your own Thunderbird, Local Folders > Outbox
6. Double-click on attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf of Message B in outbox

Actual = Expected
- Outbound message B in outbox contains PDF document.
- PDF document opens and shows up correctly.

- After step 2, are you still seeing attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf in composition window? Can you open attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf from there with double-click? (The temporary PDF was renamed to nsmail.tmp in my case, but could be opened as a PDF)- 
- After step 6, can you open attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf from message B in your own outbox?
- What makes you think that this has anything to do with determining the size of attachment? Did you inspect the code?
- What happens if in step 4, you CC yourself - does your own received copy of message B still have the attachment1 [details] [diff] [review].pdf?
- Any screenshots that you can make available (use graphic editor to black out sensitive data) and attach here via `Attach New File` button above comment 0?
