282664 - When Multipart Text is received only the second part is displayed

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 198565

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Roger Connell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0 (20041206)

I have a robot emailer based on Indy components which sends two text parts in a
mail message to overcome an early indy bug. Most email clients tend to ignor the
second message part but clients using Thunderbird find it ignors the first part.

I have to fix my software and remove the work arround but thought you may be
interested

the message below shows just 
TWO

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Reporter: Your program shouldn't send multipart/alternative, this means the two
or more parts are alternative parts to be displayed, but these shouldn't be
displayed all at the same time by a mailing program (only one at a time).
