145486 - Problem w/ contextual menu for attachments

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143543

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Jeroen Visser]

When trying to save an e-mail attachment, the 'save as' option does not result
in the display of the MacOS system save dialog. Mozilla keeps the focus and a
Sherlock query reveils no attachment has been saved.
'Save all' results in a 'Save all attachments' dailog, but choosing a folder and
clicking 'ok' does not save the attachment (one attachment is present in the mail).
The use of the 'open' option works fine (in this case with MS Word 2001), but
also results in the attachment being saved on the desktop.

After closer inspection, the file actually appears to be saved, but in the wrong
place with the wrong filename:

       Attachment                 Mozilla's way:
filename      chosen folder   filename      folder
------------  -------------   ------------  -------
somefile.doc  Macintosh HD    Macintosh HD  Mozilla

The folder in which to save the attachment seems to be taken as the filename,
resulting in a save action in the Mozilla folder (in which the program sits).

WorksForMe using Mac/2002072203 on OS 9.2.2. An 8.6 problem? Jereon's comment 3 seems 
likely; resolving duplicate for now. If this can still be reproduced using a current build, please 
feel free to reopen.
