221580 - Mail Preview Pane shows *ALL* headers (Received, X-Mozilla-*, etc)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Dave Lindquist]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The Mail Preview Pane shows *EVERY* header in the message, not just the limited
set that "should" be shown (Subject, From, To, Date, etc).  This includes the
entire "Received" path, the X-Mozilla headers, the MIME-Version... EVERYTHING.

(Note: this only happens with the little expand arrow button turned "down" --
when it is "up" it shows a single-line summary with Subject, From, and Date)


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
(Haven't tried to reproduce the *START* of the problem, but the *SYMPTOMS*
happen every time -- permanently)

This problem ensued when I moved from one machine to another.  I am using
Mozilla on a system that has roaming profiles, and when moving to a new machine,
I let roaming profiles copy down my Mozilla profile (standard location in
Documents and Settings), then re-installed Mozilla and it picked up my old
profile (same version of Mozilla both times -- 1.4).  Perhaps this had something
to do with the problem?
Actual Results:  
As stated in the details, *ALL* headers in the message are displayed in the gray
bar of the Preview pane that should only contain the Subject, From, To, and Date.

Expected Results:  
(see above descriptions)

(Note: classified as "Normal", because the "expanded" view of the headers cannot
be used -- with all headers showing it typically takes up all available space,
leaving no room for the message to display.  Except for this, I would otherwise
classify it as Minor.)

Attachment: Illustration of Problem

This shows a good example of the display -- you can see that *ALL* headers are
dispayed, creating a huge header area.

What's your setting for the menu:  View | Headers >> Normal, or All  ?

Sigh.  That would be it -- somehow that got tweaked by the
profile-copy/re-install cycle.  I spent a lot of time trying to find such an
option, but missed it in the menus.  Thanks!
