Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Robert Stehwien]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031026 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031026 Firebird/0.7 Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4a (20031027)

The "Forwarding Messages" type in "Mozilla Firebird | Preferences | Composition"
is set to "As Attach..." and when I change it to "Inline" and press "Ok",
returning to the same dialog shows it is still "As Attach"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Mozilla Firebird | Preferences | Composition"
2. Change "Forwarding Messages" from "As Attach" to "Inline"
3. Press "Ok"
4. open the dialog in #1 again and notice that "Forwarding Messages" is unchanged.

Actual Results:  
"Forwarding Messages" didn't change and all messages are sent as attachments.

Expected Results:  
Change "Forwardking Messages" from "As Attach" to "Inline" and keep that change
- forwarding messages inline.

Also happening for me on Windows XP:
Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4a (20031030)

Is there a prefs.js setting I can use to get around this in the meantime?

Answering my own question (with Preferential):
user_pref("mail.forward_message_mode",1);

I have inconsistent behavior along these lines.  Sometimes the setting survives
a restart, sometimes it doesn't.  It's very irritating having to change it back
half the time I forward something.  Running t-bird 0.5 (20040207) in WinXP.

Is this still reproducible under 1.0?

Over 1 month with no response from reporter -> WFM. Please reopen if bug still
present in a recent build.
