241030 - Save All attachments from a draft message downloads the entire email for each attachment

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199632

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[George Jenkins]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040415 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 (20040415)

When using "Save All" attachments for a message in my draft folder, Thunderbird
appears to fully download the message for each attachment that needs to be saved
(before saving the attachment). 

(Im using an IMAP server)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a message in my draft folder with several attachments (On IMAP server,
dunno about POP3)
2. Right-click on the attachments (displayed below the message) or select
File->Attachments->Save All.
3. Select a directory to download to

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird displays "Downloading Message" in status bar it seems for each
attachment. (takes a long time to download a PDF document (~200kb) and several c
sources (~5kb) on a dial-up modem.)

Expected Results:  
Downloaded the message once (or not at all depending on "Offline & Disk Space"
settings) and extracted the attachments.

System is P4 running Gentoo Linux and compiled Thunderbird from sources.

Bug 199632, which has been fixed in Seamonkey.  Testing with TB 0.7, it works OK 
for me.
George Jenkins, feel free to reopen if you feel I've closed this in error.
