31690 - Send page problem: link & added text unreadable.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 31052

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect, P3)

Description

[laurel]

Using 2000-03-13-03-m15-nb1b commercial build on linux rh6.0
Using 2000-03-13-08-m15-nb1b mozilla build on mac OS 9.0
Don't have current win32 build yet.

Send page using the url below is received (in seamonkey) with the page link and
any user added text unreadable.  Same results when sending via plaintext or html
compose windows.  OK when viewed from 4.x.

URL:  http://www.discovery.com/exp/mammoth/dispatch.html

1.  Browser window open and mail window open.  Using IMAP mail account, already
authenticated to server.
2.  In browser, load the url referenced above, let it finish loading. File|Send
Page (to yourself and/or other seamonkey users).
3.  Get the message in seamonkey and select it. Wait for downloading to finish.

Result:  message is displayed with white insert as the compose window from send
page.  Page link is only partially visible -- looks like we use white text for
the link to contrast the page's background and when we overlay the composition
area from sending the page this makes the link text unreadable (white on white).

Hi Laurel,
This is actually the "Dead Head" bug. The problem we are having is that 
attached web pages that have color attributes set for that HTML document are 
changing the webshell for the entire message. In 4.x, we enclosed the 
attachment in a LAYER and this wouldn't happen. I'll have to see if I can do 
something similar for SeaMonkey.
