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.

I'd like to confirm this bug - I was just going to report it myself.
Its annoying, especially if you are on a slower internet connection (e.g. shared in a cafe) and want to read the next message while waiting for the Truncated one to download.

If download in the background should not be possible (due to error handling, locking or whatever reasons), please provide at least a modal progress dialog that prevents the user from unintentionally switching the message pane and therefore implicitly aborting the download.

"Open standalone window, click 'click here'" looks a workaround, although effective for single partially downloaded message only.

I didn't find out this through a search and made <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554160">this duplicate</a>.
So I add this just for better search results:
The text in a frame of the truncated e-mail is: "Truncated! This message exceeded the Maximum Message Size set in Account Settings, so we have only downloaded the first few lines from the mail server."
This text is defined by MIME_MSG_PARTIAL_FMT_1
and MIME_MSG_PARTIAL_FMT_2.

WADA, can you confirm this bug on recent builds?

Thunderbird 12.0 : yes, the bug is still present

thanks tnyr for the confirmation.
There are two bugs that seem to describe the same problem.
Is it helpful to keep both of them?
Are Thunderbird developers still looking into "MailNews Core" bugs?
This bug is currently reported against
Thunderbird: Mail Window Frontend
Bug 168330 is reported against
MailNews Core: Networking
Perhaps mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 168330?
