241846 - no proxy prompt, must change window configuration to see email internet images

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 205947

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Frank Maker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

I have Thunderbird setup to use a Automatic Proxy Configuration URL. When I set
the option initially, it prompts me for my proxy login/password and then I can
view images from the internet in my email. However, next time I start
Thunderbird, I receive no prompt and have to change my window configuration in
order to be prompted for my proxy login/password and then I can see the email
images again. Otherwise, I see only a red dot showing that it could not load the
image. It seems to me that whatever prompt for the proxy login information is
not called by default and only when a new window configuration has been selected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup Automatic Proxy Configuration URL.
2. Restart Thunderbird.


Actual Results:  
Tried to view internet images in an email and saw only a red dot with an empty box.

Expected Results:  
The program should prompt for the proxy login information as soon as it
encounters an email that needs access to the internet.
