184664 - Attachment list is not displayed. Unable to view or save attachments. "File->Attachments->Save All" does not work either.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 171128

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Ivo Bloechliger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When displaying an email with attachments, the attachments are not listed
anywhere (as in Mozilla 1.0 there is an Attachment Box appearing right of the
mail header) and thus cannot be saved or viewed. 
I tried to change the size of the window, to display all headers, but the
attachments are not shown.

In the Menu "File->Attachments->Save All" I can select a directory but then it
says that the file (in fact the directory) does already exist. If I try to
overwrite it gives the message "Unable to save the attachment. Check the file
name..." 

I switched back to an previous version of Mozilla since without the ability of
viewing and saving attachments it is of no use.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an e-mail containg attachments (one or more)
2. Go to File->Attachments->Save All  (there is no possibility of saving
individual Attachments)
3. Select a directory
4. It complains that the directory exists.
5. If you force to overwrite the file (which is in fact a directory) it
complains that it is now possible (which is normal since a directory cannot be
replace by a file).



Expected Results:  
Let me view / save my attachments. :-)

I'm using SuSE Linux 7.2 and downloaded the latest version of Mozilla here:
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/mozilla/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.2.1
and I took the file mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.2.1.tar.gz
