272064 - Message will not completely display

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Joe Sabash [:JoeS1]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040912 Firefox/0.10.1 (MOOX M2)
Build Identifier: version 0.9+ (20041127)

If a data object is specified through Javascript that requires a plugin,
other html elements of the message will not render.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.copy the html from my testcase into a html email
2.substitute an image of you choice for the broken image
3.email to yourself

Actual Results:  
The image will not display

Expected Results:  
With the removal of plugin support via bug 266750, I would expect the data object
to be ignored, and the rest of the html to be rendered.

Prior to the removal of plugin support via bug 266750 many plugins worked fine in
Tbird. (with remote sourced data, but not with inline data)
The potential to convert OE stationery and general HTML users has been severely
limited by the loss of plugins support, and the lack of activity in bugfixs for
other HTML compose problems.
In regard to this bug, if you reply to the message in HTML, the images appear,
and thereafter, seem to display normally, until Tbird is re-started.

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.
