245787 - When printing mails with multipart content (MIME) frames added to the end though parts printed

Status: NEW

(MailNews Core :: Printing, defect)

Description

[Attila K. MERGL]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

If I try to print a mail with multipart content the main (e.g. text/plain) and
the inline parts (e.g. image/jpg) are printed, but at the end as many frames as
the number of the inline parts are added, showing the file name, content type
and content encoding.
It is not desired, since the parts are already printed correcly. It is expected
if the parts couldn't be printed (e.g. application/vnd.ms-excel).
Until rev. 1.6 it worked fine -- I upgraded in April from 1.3 --, but since then
I can't print a digest composed from mesage/rfc822 parts, since the last two
pages are decorated with those unnecessary frames. The bug exists in rev. 1.7RC2
too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a mail with multipart content
2. Choose File/Print Preview
3. Page to the end of the preview

Actual Results:  
The unexpected frames are listed in a long sequence. :-(

Expected Results:  
Suppress frames of successfully displayed/printed inline parts.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Attachment: An example print out to document the failure

I don't agree with automatic closure, since nobody tried to fix this bug and it
still exists. I attach a document printed into PDF file to show you what the
problem is.

Attila do you still have the issue with recent builds of thunderbird (http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/downloads.php) ?

Sorry, Ludovic, but I'm still using the all-in-one product, so SeaMonkey 1.1.13 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.18) Gecko/20081031).

BUT there is this problem still existing and disturbing.

Best regards,

Hi Ludovic,

I downloaded the SeaMonkey 2.0a2 and installed it. Then tried to print a multi part message and unfortunately got the same bad result. For your aid I attach the last two pages as a PDF document. (See PrintSeaMonkey2.0a2.pdf)

Best regards,
Attila

Attachment: Last pages of a print-out with SeaMonkey 2.0a2

On request I tried the latest alpha of the suite, but it failed.

There is also bug 443634 on the general issue of printing attachment boxes, which is related to SeaMonkey bug 75308, thus those bugs may be consolidated and (optional?) removal of the attachment boxes considered to save space.
