Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

If you load a news message in a browser using its message id, it normally
displays properly (see URL).  However, if there is an attachment, it does not
get displayed.  By contrast, using the same URL in Netscape 4.x will cause a
Messenger window to be opened, and it displays the attachment.


Reproducible: Always

ignore, wrong bug, sorry.

we will show attachments we can display (rfc/822, images, etc) but not ones we
can't.

to do that, we'll have to open up the message window, and use the attachment
bucket, like we do in bug #143565

futuring, for now.

hmm, another alternative is to fix the html we generate in mime.

this then becomes like the bug about when printing, show attachments that we
can't render (at least, that they exist)

the attachments would be linkified.

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

As far as I can figure out, this WFM. It displays as if we were printing...

Works in what version of Seamonkey?  I still get an empty page with:
Gecko/20090221 SeaMonkey/2.0b1pre

Thunderbird doesn't have a browser, and using Open in Browser in Thunderbird opens a newsgroup item in google groups. Therefore if this is a bug, its a SeaMonkey only bug.
