Description

[Frank Widmaier]

it's possible to "generate" attachements like outlook express with a Begin-Bug.
You won't see the text of the message, that follows the string "begin 600
format.com.jpg"

Example:
Newsgroup: de.admin.net-abuse.news
M-ID: <3d37c7aa.183636275@127.0.0.1>

syntax for bug: begin 600 format.com.jpg

I'm, using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0)

Attachment: Screenshot of that bug (I've taken the bugzilla-information-mail)

The problem will appear, if in the mail/newsgroupposting the charset-definition
isn't available.

the bug isn't shown with web-readers like google.com. you have to download the
original article from a newsserver

example <3d37c7aa.183636275@127.0.0.1>

It's a bug caused by other readers, but it has effects to mailnews

i'll re-open the bug

[Frank Widmaier]

I tried with a personal newsserver - I deleted the defintions, before sending it
to my official newsserver

Message-ID: <aiu9ec$173aaj$[e-mail]> (in de.alt.test)

it still exists in

rv:1.1b Gecko/20020805

Tricky, but that testcase actually shows the problem.
