Cannot view attached images inline regardless of the setting in View / Body Text
As in a news post for example. Tried many usenet photography groups. 

Attached images in mail display ok when sent by Mozilla to view in Mozilla.
Image sent attached from Communicator 4.79 do not.

This bug also made it into RC1 released earlier today. Also noticed that
clicking on the attachment will attempt to bring up the image in the browser but
instead displays an error to the effect that "cannot display image as there are
errors in the file" or some dialog to that effect. This happens with *every*
image attached to email or a news post. There cannot be "errors" in *every*
image attachment.

You still using this Jay? I still haven't been able to reproduce this (using
trunk build: 2002042206). Inline images seem to be displaying fine.

Using 2002042209 trunk build (not RC1) and still seeing this bug. I'm at a loss
here as I've uninstalled, re-installed, configured a new profile, etc. But it
still is apparent in the "latest 1.0" builds as well. I can go back to 0.9.9 and
problem goes away.

This just started with RC1 and the trunk build same day release.

Sorry, but I erred a bit. A NEW profile works ok. There must be something in my
prefs.js file that is causing this. It's quite customized and has worked in
previous builds. So, there must be something included in the .js file that is
interfering with the latest builds and RC1. I don't have a clue .. yet !!

Problem solved !!

Mem Cache and Disk Cache were set to ZERO each. Resetting back to positive
values cured the problem. What I don't understand is that both have been set to
ZERO for previous builds and attachments displayed inline ok up until the latest
builds and RC1 .. Ain't computers fun ??!!

I am running RC1 on Windows ME with disk and memory cache set to zero.  I just
sent mail from NS4.79 with an attached image.  I received it in RC1 and the
image displayed fine inline.

I can duplicate this 100% by sending an attachment with RC1 and it will not view
inline in RC1 when both caches are set to zero. Sending with any "other" mail
app will display inline ok in RC1 or latest trunk.

Can not make it fail RC1 to RC1 with attached JPG or GIF and zero caches on ME.

I get this problem (build 2002102913) with some images and not others, when i
try to view the images that dont load it trys to use my download manager plugin
(which has a download error) when i try to view the images that do load it loads
the image in mozilla, not my associated application

i have both caches set to > 0 (5meg and 20meg i think)

Jay Garcia, is this bug still reproducible by you?  Not only can I not make it 
happen, I can't even find two cache numbers.  I tried setting that to zero, and 
also setting  browser.cache.enable  and  browser.cache.memory.enable  to false;
still had no problem viewing a (small) image attachment inline.
