193970 - With Junk Mail Controls on, can it determine if attachments are present?

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, enhancement)

Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

Overview: If Junk Controls are on and it looks at the entire message to
determine if its junk then it should be able to determine if a message has
attachments, right? 

Expected Results: If the above is true then it would be helpful if the mail icon
in the thread could display with the attachment icon (paperclip). Then if I had
a MailView to only view messages with "attachments" then it could work on more
messages. This would actually be an interesting by product of the Junk Mail
Control feature.

Good point, Ninoschka. This would have to be done via Mime, but as luck would
have it, I believe we're going through Mime as it is. JF, do you think we could
do this in the Mime code we're already going through?

Hi, I had a related request so I'll add comment here. If a message is deemed by
Mozilla to be Junk and it has an attachment I would like to not download the
message attachment (I'm getting tons of 200K spam attachments and they are
driving me crazy). I'm using an IMAP server (but request might work for POP too)
and I'm downloading my messages locally to use offline. It would be equivalent
(I think) to turning the offline download off for all junk messages.

If you think this should be separate request, I'd be happy to file separately.\

thanks,

if the attachments are inline text/html, we download them anyway to determine if
the message is junk. What kind of attachments are these?

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
