When a mail profile is located on a networked drive in Mozilla 1.2 beta opening
mail attachments doesn't work! users are required to do a 'save as' and then
open the file seperately. This will create a house keeping nightmare! When
clicking on the attachment the hourglass flashes for approx 1 second then the
user is left looking at the orginal mail with no action.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open mail with attachment
2 [review]. double click the attachment to open
3.nothing happens! only a single flash of an hourglass...

Actual Results:  
no action. i'm left with no open attachment.

Expected Results:  
open the attachment! or prompt me what to do with the attachment e.g open or
save to a location...

how is the network drive specified? with a drive specification, e.g., F:, or
with a unc path?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
