790204 - Some messages missing from preview pane summary when a thread list is selected

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[:Irving Reid (No longer working on Firefox)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #788541 +++

This may be a regression caused by the fix for bug 782899.

Jeff, are there any common features of the messages that don't show up in the summary? I'm looking for things like size, whether they're MIME multipart messages or plain text, etc.

If there's particular message, or type of message, that doesn't show in the preview list it would be helpful if you could save it as a .eml file and attach it to this bug (if there's nothing confidential in it).

Great typo! ;)

Jeff, how many messages are you selecting, or how many messages are there in the thread where you say some are missing in the summary preview?

Comment 3

[Jeff Gehlhaar]

There are 9 messages in the thread.  They are big messages, averaging 1.7MB each, so the overall thread is large.  They are text/html base64 encoded messages (not sure why) if that helps.

Any time you select the thread, the same message is missing?

Yes, with TB 15.0.1 and TB 17a2, the same messages are previewed each time.
