This bug report is very difficult to understand.

> Non picture attach file 

There's a file attached to a message you've received that is not an image?


> display attachments on Inline Mode.  

And you have turned on    Display Attachments Inline    ?

Only some file types can be displayed inline; pictures (GIF, JPG, PNG, BMP), 
text and HTML files, and few other simple types.  Other files, such as .PDF or 
.DOC, require other programs to display them.

You can save the attachment to disk and then open it in the required program, 
assuming you have such a program.  It's usually possible to set up Thunderbird 
to allow you to open the attachment directly without having to save to disk.

However, Bugzilla is not a help forum.  If you need assistance figuring this 
out, please try the newsgroups, such as:
   netscape.mozilla.thunderbird


I am closing this bug as Invalid, based on my understanding of the problem.
This understanding may be limited, but in truth, that report is essentially 
incoherent.  If you believe there is an actual bug that needs reporting, please 
locate someone who can form grammatical English sentences to make the report for 
you.

The message in attachment 171959 [details] is rendered pretty much as I would expect, 
altho it is an unusual structure.  The basic MIME structuring is normal:
  Top:  multipart/mixed
    Part 1:  text/html   (message body; encoding is not specified)
    Part 2:  message/rfc822   (this is the email attachment)

The weird part is that Part 2, the message/rfc822 attachment, has its own 
Content-Type header declaring it to be application/msword -- and in fact, the 
entire body of Part 2 is a valid base-64-encoded Word document (in Thai).  
Thunderbird helpfully displays that document as a separate attachment, so you 
can save it to disk and open it up in Word.

But the Word document is not displayed inline because Thunderbird does not 
display Word docs (or Acrobat docs, or Autocad drawings, or RTF files, or ...)
inline.  These are data formats with no public specification.  This is normal, 
not a bug.
