279727 - bug_email.pl doesn't import attachments form Thunderbird

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215514

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Håvard Wigtil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: 2.18.0

I've set up a Bugzilla server and integrated contrib/bug_email.pl for incoming
mail. Attachments sent with Outlook get imported OK, but attachments sent with
Thunderbird get skipped.

Investigation the e-mail source shows that Thunderbird sends attachments with
"Content-Disposition: inline;" while Outlook uses "Content-Disposition: atachment;".
Common for both is that "Content-Disposition" is only used for attachment.

From reading the source it seems that bug_mail.pl only considers
"Content-Disposition: atachment;" to be attachments (~ line 614)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up bug_mail.pl
2. Send mail with Thunderbird, add attachment


Actual Results:  
No attachment added to bug.

Expected Results:  
Attachment added to bug.

I know that bug_mail.pl is not really supported, I'm leaving this here mostly
for later reference.

See bug #65794 for a description of the 'inline' problem.

Looks like someone filed this already a while back.

Besides that, by your own admission/bug link, it's not a problem with Bugzilla; 
it's a problem with Thunderbird.
