(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Jaco]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

When receiving a forwarded message as an attachement and it includes no
aditional body text in the message itself, the attachement is not present.

One body text is added when forwarding a message as an attachment the
attachement message can then be opened.

Once opened, the attachment displayes itself and other atachements as an
attachment allowing the user to recursively open the same forwarded attached
message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ask someone to forward a message as an attachement. (Ensure there is no body
text in the message)
2. Result is an empty message with no forwarded message attachment.
3. Ask someone to forward a message as an attachement. (Ensure there is body
text in the message)
4. The message has the body text as well as the forwarded messages.
5. Open forwarded message
6. Message allows for recursive opening of itself by including itself as an
attachment.

Actual Results:  
No forwarded message was displayed to be opened.


Expected Results:  
Notice a forwarded message was send as an attachment and allow user to open it.

Forwarded message is a eml file

Which build of Thunderbird are you using?  I am unable to duplicate the results 
with TB 1.0, Win2K -- the message attached to an otherwise empty message is 
shown as an attachment.

Note that bug 278595 reports a similar problem for nightly Mozilla builds 
starting Jan 15 and no longer seen as of Jan 23.  If you are using post-1.0 
builds, please check if the bug is fixed as of a current build; and if so, 
please mark this bug as a dupe of that one.
