Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021203

Having a multipart message with HTML parts causes the HTML style to interfere on
the other parts. And if there is more than one HTML part the style rules cascade
like it's a whole document. I'll attach example message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
The separate parts should be displayed in separate frames (like IFRAMEs) so they
not interfere.

Bug 82280 "Use iframe or object tags for inlined parts in a mail message" seems
related but I'm not sure it discuss the same issue. Let someone review it and if
appropriate to mark this one as duplicate of it.
