1513824 - OpenComposeWindowWithParams doesn't work with type ForwardInline

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

I've been trying to make the code work:

> let params = Cc["@mozilla.org/messengercompose/composeparams;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIMsgComposeParams);
> let composeFields = Cc["@mozilla.org/messengercompose/composefields;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIMsgCompFields);
> let msgHdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage;
> 
> params.origMsgHdr = msgHdr;
> params.originalMsgURI = msgHdr.folder.getUriForMsg(msgHdr);
> params.type = Ci.nsIMsgCompType.ForwardInline;
> params.composeFields = composeFields;
> MailServices.compose.OpenComposeWindowWithParams(null, params);

But I get no forwarded message in the body of the email. The reply types work, and ForwardAsAttachment works. Also ForwardInline works with other methods to open the compose window.

Umm, so what works? Sorry, I have no special insight here, I'd have to debug it just as much as you'd have to debug it (although I started my career here as a compose peer ;-)).

This isn't a good sign:
