159624 - view mail source truncated

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Martin Smits]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020721
BuildID:    2002072104

When trying to view the source of a message with some significant binary
attachment, the text in the source window doesn't show the complete message.

I need to see the complete message source to debug some issues with my MIME
encoder script, especially the closing MIME boundary.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. send yourself a message with some large attachment
2 [details] [diff] [review]. wait until the message arrives
3. Select View|Message source
4. scroll to the end and see the missing MIME end boundary

Attachment: View source from Netscape7.0

This attachment is an email from Netscape 7.0 - it doesn't show the full source
of the email.

Comment 2

Attachment: View source of email from Netscape4.79

Here is the viewsource of the same email from Netscape 4.79.

The prior attachments were from reading the email from IMAP.  I will now attach
(a slightly better, but still truncated) view mail source from a local folder.

Comment 4

[Michael Baffoni]

Attachment: Viewsource of email from NN7.0 and a local folder

still truncated attachment, although less truncated.

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

Possible dup: Bug 140960 (View Source shows truncated message content)?

WORKSFORME with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050303 (Win-2K), when mail size is 700KB, which is plain text mail with
two JPEG file attachements and held in local mail directry.
I didn't test on very large mail such as larger than 2GB or 4GB.

Too all problem reporters: Does problem still remain?

I'm currently not using Mozilla anymore, but Thunderbird.
The problem doesn't occur there (anymore).

I hit it in Thunderbird version 1.0.6 (20050716) for Mac OSX.  Only the trailing MIME boundary was 
missing.
