217799 - Proxy Authentication dialog does not appear in MailNews

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205947

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Michael Billimoria]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827

If you use proxy authentication, and you load the mailnews without loading the
browser first. HTML e-mails which require external access appear without
graphics (and anything else that they need external access for).

If you then start up the browser and enter your proxy authentication details for
a page - and then return to the mail program - these e-mails appear correctly as
the user is now successfully authenticated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to something like Dilbert Daily e-mail (www.dilbert.com)
2. Make sure you are using proxy authentication
3. When you receive a HTML e-mail from Dilbert the graphics fail to load if the
situation is the same as described above

Actual Results:  
You don't get graphics or other objects that require external access

Expected Results:  
When you access the e-mail - a proxy authentication dialog should appear so you
can fill in your credentials - provided they are correct the e-mail should be
displayed in its entirety
