166879 - Viewing message body as plain text doesn't work with this message

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 138333

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Matthew Mastracci]

When viewing the attached message in Mozilla mail using the View Message Body as
Plain Text mode, I see nothing.  What should appear is the plain text version of
the message, which is included as a MIME attachment.

Attachment: This is the email message that doesn't work

This is the email message that doesn't work.  Note that the first section is:

--------------010600080100020601060805
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Shouldn't this be displayed in plain text mode?

Well, yes, it *should*. It won't with the current m/a code, which just disables
known "bad" content types like HTML (not including multipart/related, which is
the secord alternative) and thus makes us fall back to earlier ones, usually
plaintext.

This isn't a real problem, as the HTML in the m/related part should be converted
to plaintext. But you hit a bug there.
