253211 - "Save All..." option for message attachments does not use Download Manager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180672

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Manta]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

Right-click "Save..." a single attachment places the attachment in the Download
Manager queue, but right-click "Save All..." does not.

Hence there is no indication of the downloads completing, nor their progress.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose a new message, attach one file (any type).
2. Send it to yourself.
3. Open the message when it arrives.
4. Right-click on ONE of the attachments, select "Save...", etc.
5. If not already open, the Download Manager opens, and your attachment is
queued (and you can then track its download progress).
6. Return to your message.
7. Right-click on any of the attachments, select "Save All...", choose a
location, etc.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens. ;) No Download Manager, not even status bar indication. I think
the throbber shows activity correctly though.

Oh, and yes the files are placed into the filesystem correctly, you just don't
know that until you look there. :)

Expected Results:  
Point 5 above:
If not already open, the Download Manager SHOULD open?

I've switched to Thunderbird, so I have not tried this in a current build of the
Mozilla Suite.

I've just had a quick squiz at 180672, and I don't think it's related.

Hi, tested this again.

When Downloadmanager won`t open, than type:

javascript:navigator.plugins.refresh(true);

into the urlbar. Than Download Manager will works/starts again. This works for
me, when my Suite-Downloadmanager have this problem. See Fix in Bug180672 (Url
and Whiteboard Status).

So resolving this as Dupe of Bug 180672
