Build id: 2001-11-15-05

Replying to a message which has an inline image displayed throws an error dlg in 
trying to get the message. 

I have html compose checked on the news groups too. 
In newsgroups compose a new message
Attach a gif or jpg file that is displayed inline when received
Receive the message. 
You will see the attachment as well as image is displayed inline
Reply to this message(pref was-to reply above the quoted text) I don't think 
this matters to be able to see this bug

Actual result:  Compose window comes up with the qutoed lines. Trying to send 
this message results in an error dlg" There was a problem including the file
news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail]?header=quotebody&part
=1.2&type i the message. Would you like to continue sending the message without 
this file?  Ok  Cancel
When you click ok the message gets sent 

Expected: We should not be trying to get the attachment and also that there 
should be no error messsages displayed.


On mac os x we the application hung trying to get this attachment
On linux I am not able to post and the send button does not seem to work at all.
Linux problem could be a different bug but I am sure the above scenario would 
result in the same error message seen on windows.

Um, I couldn't find any comments as to whether this pertained to a Group Reply
on mail lists that prohibit the use of "reply-to". In this case a Reply all
isn't correct as both the from and the thread participants receive duplicate
copies, with one sent to the list.

The proper way is to have a Group reply much like mutt does for mail lists.

Does this make sense at all? I'm rambling without my morning cuppa java...

I've tried this and not been able to reproduce the results with current builds;
bug is old, so   => WFM
