275033 - Paper clip shown without any attachments included

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Nikolaj Jørgensen]

Some mails is shown as having attachment included, on the list of mails.

When opening the mail, it shows the message correct - and without any 
attachments added (which is correctly, since noone included inside the 
mailsource).

The Content-Type is set to "multipart/mixed", and includes only ONE "part", 
which is a "text/html"-body, and no plain body or attachments at all.

[Version: Thunderbird 1.0 (selectbox is empty, so cannot set it myself)]

that would be an incorrectly formatted message - multipart, but only one
part...I do have code that will clear the attachment flag in that situation when
you read the message.

Okay, I see...

But is there a solution for that? Since I recieve some mails from different 
websites, where that specifik "error" occurs. I tried before I sent the 
bugreport, to see if there was something wrong with the mails, but it seemed to 
be just fine.

Anyway, even though it probably is an incorrectly formatted message, I don't 
see why it should display the paper clip, when it shows the mail just find when 
opened.

Hope you'll send me that code, thanks! :)

Have just looked a bit on the RFC's. As far as I can see/read, it requires one 
or more parts, which means that only one should be allowed - so the problem 
must exists somewhere else. At least if following the RFC 1521 / 1341, # 7.2.

Anyway, as long as I can read the mails, I can survive just fine - but I just 
find it weird (right now) :)
