152792 - Emails attached to a document with MIME should open as a message, not a text document

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 143565

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[ravn]

When I receive an email with an attachment of type

Content-Type: message/rfc822;
 name="Vedr.: Nyt =?ISO-8859-15?Q?dom=E6ne_scandiatransplant=2Eorg?="

it would be great if it could open as a normal message instead of just as a
plain text file.

This is how it works in Netscape 4.x

ravn, this bug report is incomplete. Provide the Build ID you're reporting
against, attach an example of the file type in question, and provide steps to
reproduce the problem.

Naturally.  I am not very familiar with good bug reports.

This is Mozilla 1.0.

To reproduce:

Ensure that emails are forwarded "As Attachments" in the Preference Pane.

Take any email and forward it to yourself.  The original email is attached and
you can write additional information yourself.

When this email is received, the new text is shown at the top, and the attached
email is rendered, with the header in grey.  This is fine.

If the attachment containing the email (in the attachment box) is then clicked,
the attachment opens.  

Currently it opens on a "View Source" window, but it would be nice, if it was
treated like any other message.  The MIME-type of the attachment is shown above.

I am uploading a sample message.

Attachment: A sample mail containing another mail as an attachment

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002061014. When the attached message is
double-clicked, it's displayed as source in the browser window, rather than in
.eml format.

This is a duplicate of bug 143565 isn't it?

I believe the suggested dupe is correct.  That bug has been fixed 
(altho see bug 204350).

Reporter (ravn): If for some reason this is still broken for Mac OS X, please 
feel free to reopen the bug.
