Description

[Ninoschka Baca]

Trunk build 2003-04-29: WinMe, Mac 10.1.5

Overview: Save messages with an image in eml or html format. Open these files in
the browser and the images do not appear.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a message and attach an image (i.e. gif file)
2. Retrieve the message and you can see the image in the body of the message
3. Select File|Save As| File, then choose eml format (or html format)
4. Open the browser and select the eml file
5. Now select the html file

Actual Results:
4. The text of the message is dispayed but the image is gone
5. The text of the message is dispalyed but the image is gone

Expected Results: I would expect the image to also be present in the eml or the
html file.

This problem was also present in Netscape 7.02.

Is this a dupe of bug 88451?

Comment 3

88451 is specific to HTML messages; Bug 174692 has the same symptom for .EML 
files.

It turns out I misunderstood 88451, and this bug has nothing to do with it.

There is a substantial difference between the save-as-EML and the save-as-HTML 
versions of this bug.  When saving as EML, the image (as a MIME attachment) is 
saved in the file, but the browser does not correctly display it; this is 
bug 174692.

When saving as HTML, the image is stored as an <IMG> tag with a mailbox-message: 
URI -- which, again, the browser does not display; this is bug 164154.

I'm duping this to the first bug.
