Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 136280

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Dave Fennell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021021
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021021

If you switch between mails too fast mozilla mail gets confused and displays the
attachments to a previous mail but the body of the current one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View a small mail with no attachments.
2.Click to view a mail with a large attachment (e.g. 700Kb)
3.Quickly click back onto the first mail.

Actual Results:  
The body text of the small mail is quickly displayed.
After a few seconds the mozilla finishes loading/scanning/doing-whatever-to the
large mail and the attachment window appears, showing the attachment(s) of the
large mail - which we are no longer viewing.

Expected Results:  
Stopped scanning/loading/whatever the large mail when the other mail was selected.

I am using IMAP which slows the loading /scanning of mails a bit.
