146381 - mail crashes when it contains an HTML attachment with an applet

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 78847

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
BuildID:    20020510

Send on e-mail with an HTML attachment which in turn contains an
applet. When trying to open the mail, the mailer crashes. This happens already 
when trying to select the mail. I don't even get to
open the attachment.
This seems to happen with any applet.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an e-mail with HTML attachment & applet
2. Try to open with e-mail reader

Actual Results:  Dialog pops up with a Plug In Exception. The actual contents
of the dialog is not readable since the UI is frozen.
When you run the JavaConsole, it'll show a 
java.net.MalformedURLException : unknown protocol : mailbox

Expected Results:  Open the mail. When selecting the attachment, the browser 
should
pop up and tun the applet.

I'm using the Java PlugIn 1.3.1_02. Is reproducible with older
plug-ins as well. Netscape 4.x works fine.
Happens on different Windows platforms (NT 4, 2000, XP)

Attachment: example HTML page

Use the HTML page and send it as an attachment to the mail.
In fact, this is only an example. The problem can be reproduced with
any applet.

Attachment: screen dump of Java exception

This screen dump shows the JavaConsole output when trying to open
the mail. The dialog on the right says "Java Plug In Exception" but
is frozen.

Does it also happen with JRE 1.4.0 ?

Comment 4

[Karsten Opitz]

With Java 1.4 the problem doesn't seem to show up any more. However,
the HTML attachments are inlined although the content-disposition explicitly
says attachment. This is particularly annoying when having several
attachments with different applets.
