Details
This is a test case for bug 142043. Trying to open an HTML attachement from Apple Mail can fail due to the lack of long filename handling. Apple Mail stores the attachment in, e.g.: file:///HardDrive/Users/johndoe/Library/Mail/IMAP-johndoe@mail.thejohndoegroup.com/INBOX.imapmbox/Emailing__processReq.mimeattach/processRequest.htm which causes a failure due to the 37-character folder named 'IMAP-johndoe@mail.thejohndoegroup.com' If the user has the right combination of a long-ish username and/or host name this will fail every time. If both are short it should always work.

Doug, this is happening in Browser via AppleEvents. MailNews has nothing to do with it.

The Mach-0 build doesn't have any problem with long file names and Mach-0 is the future. Just pointing that out because CFM-only bugs are going to get less attention. Also, there's an easier way to repro this that doesn't involve having a working mail account with a long name. It does involve having BBEdit though. There are probably lots of apps that could do this. (1) Create an HTML file in a folder called "IMAP-johndoe@mail.thejohndoegroup.com" (2) Use BBEdit's "Preview With" on that file.

I'd be happy to mark this fixed when Mach-O is the 'shipping' nightly. Does the target milestone of 1.3b mean that's when Mach-O will land? (yeah, I checked the Mach.html page, and news, and irc...)
If this bug remains a depends on 142043, then shouldn't we send it to mailnews so they know to test for this? If not, then isn't it a dupe?

Are separate bugs for test cases now disallowed? I filed this per the request of the owner of the depends on bug for separate test case bugs.

Sorry, don't mean to sound ungrateful for the test case, but the file impl on CFM mozilla uses the old file APIs which limit it to 31 chars. Either we're using the new APIs or we're not and don't really need a test case to know that.

If you don't have a placeholder bug for the component that is affected by the bug, then you end up with a dupe in mail news that is resolved, so the next person cannot see the bug when they query. That is how the compreg.dat bug got a lot of dupes. Also, when this is fixed, I'm not going to test every single entry point in the product, that is the job of the black box qa per component. If you don't give them a bug, they won't be reminded to test for this.

Ben, I'm not sure why you bring up mailnews. This bug talks about an attachment in *Apple's* mail program not being able to be opened in mozilla through an OpenURL event. Indeed, mailnews has nothing to do with it.

You mean? STEPS: 1- set mozilla to default browser 2- click on link in applemail that has very long filename path segements. If so, okay, you are right, I wish someone had said more plainly.

Yes, that's right - though the "link" is an attachment. I think Bill put it pretty clearly in comment #2.

(not sure how you would get that AppleEvent to fire...)
