120453 - Opening a forwarded/attached mail message should be displayed in message window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143565

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

Make sure your mail settings are "forward as attachments".
Send yourself a very simple test message.
Fetch that message, forward it to yourself.
Fetch the forwarded message.
One attachment is shown in that message as expected.
Double click the attachment.

Actual behaviour: A new navigator window opens and the plaintext source of
attached/forwarded message is displayed.

Expected behaviour: The message should be shown in a mail message window
instead. The same window type you get, when you double click a message in a
folder listing.

cc'ing Scott.

I digged around a little bit.
I think we either need to change the implementation of openAttachment to check
the mime type for message/rfc822, and open a message window instead of loading
into the docshell, or, we need to make the docshell aware of this mime type, and
change the docshell implementation to open a separate message window whenever
this mime type is seen.

Which of both do you prefer?
