245334 - Unable to attach EPS files to outgoing mail

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[hopson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: 

EPS files attached to outgoing mail appear to have been sent, but never arrive
with the email.  Converting those files to ZIP (or other compression formats
like RAR, etc.), or to PDF solves the problem.
I have never experienced trouble with any other file format, but this bug
persists from earlier Thunderbird versions that I tried.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose message
2. Attach EPS file
3. Send
4. Be verbally abused by client about mail with no attachment.
5. Offer discount to avoid permanently alienating important income source
6. Cry

Actual Results:  
See 4~6 above

Expected Results:  
Should have sent the EPS just like any other attachment, I suppose.

Nothing to report.

Dupe of bug 176258?

Can you attach a (small) sample EPS file that exhibits the problem?

I cannot reproduce this problem, using TB 0.8, Win2K.

Reporter, if this problem is still an issue for you, please attach to this bug a 
sample EPS file that exhibits the problem.
