252120 - All attachments are missing when I import mail from Eudora until I highlight the message

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242492

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Carleton Ruthling]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When I import messages from Eudora 6.1, no attachments are shown until the
message is opened (if this is how the product is designed, then strongly suggest
a message whether opened yet or not display an attachment icon if there is an
attachment)

When I selec the email message, then the mesage icon of the envelope "opens" and
if there is an attachment, the attachment then appears. 
BUG: the text in the body of the message then appears as "Part 1.1"

Your program rocks and it supports Chinese characters (Eudora does not). Thank you!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.import mail from Eudora
2.once imported, no attachments are visible
3."selecting" an attachment (not double clicking and opening it) cause the
envelope icon to open and the attachment is visible as well as "Part 1.1"

Actual Results:  
2.once imported, no attachments are visible
3."selecting" an attachment (not double clicking and opening it) cause the
envelope icon to open and the attachment is visible as well as "Part 1.1"

Expected Results:  
Once imported (btw, great job on importing address books and mail without
attachments), all emails should appear in their respective folders, the mail
should indicate which has an attachment and which does not. the emails with
attachments should not have the text in the body of the email then default to an
attachment.

I also have my attachments stored in Eudora on the D drive while the eudora
program is located on the C drive.
