196567 - When forwarding more than one message as an attachment, the first message on the list is duplicated for all others.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Attachments, defect)

Description

[Rauhnee Ranshanka]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

When forwarding more than one message as an attachment, all of the messages are
replaced by the first forewarded message.  This includes text, attachments,
number of attachments -- everything.  It saves as if I had attached the same
message the number of times equil to the number of messages forwarded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have the forwarding preferance set to 'as attachment'.
2. Highlight more than message. It does not matter if it has an attachment or not.
3. Forward it (it should all be attached in a single message).
4. Save it.
5. Look at the saved message. All of the messages will be copies of the first one.

Actual Results:  
The message has the correct number of attachments, but they are all duplicates
of the first message.

Expected Results:  
All of the messages forwarded should have been there.

This occures with several themes, including the default one.  I have
uninstalled, cleaned all residual Mozilla data and installed it, and it still
occures.

WorksForMe (v1.4a/W95).
I forwarded 2 plain text messages without attachements;
Then I saved to file(s) both the sent and the received emails: both correct.

Reporter, can you check with a recent build.

Rauhnee Ranshanka, please confirm whether this bug is still a problem for you 
with a current version of Mozilla, at least 1.4 Final.
