1917798 - Text "------=_NextPart_000_000A_01D504EF.78E9F0F0--" instead of body of some messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1890230

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[WfJjrdAr]

Attachment: 2024-09-10_12-11-59.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:131.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/131.0

Steps to reproduce:

I don't know what exactly caused this failure. Accordingly, I can't list the sequence of actions to reproduce it.

Actual results:

Some messages (hundreds) are displayed normally in the message list, but when viewing them, the sender and subject are not displayed, and the body of the message only displays the text "------=_NextPart_000_000A_01D504EF.78E9F0F0--" and nothing more. All broken messages have the same text in the body.

I tried to close Thunderbird, delete the global-messages-db.sqlite file, restart the application, and wait for the message re-indexing to finish. But it did not help. Disabling all extensions (Darko, Extract 'Em! and Remove Duplicate Messages) did not change the situation.

Expected results:

I wish there was a way to fix errors like this. For example, by forcing re-downloading of letters from specified mailbox folders. Or checking for differences between the local version and the version on the server, overwriting the local version in case of differences. Now I see only one way - removing the mailbox from the application, reconnecting it, and re-downloading several gigabytes of letters from 17 years.

As a workaround, right click the folder and chose Repair Folder.

WfjrdAr,

Have you had trouble since your last posting here two months ago?
And if you have, does 128.3.3 or newer solve it for you?
