285761 - *.WMV file attachments can not be opened in Thunderbird after import from Outlook

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Migration, defect)

Description

[ralphbjr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

After I installed Thunderbird 1.0 and imported my Outlook 2003 email I tried to
open my *.WMV file attachments.  Some would open, about half will not and
Windows Media Player says the file is corrupt.  I can still open the same
attachment from Outlook.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import email with WMV attachment from Outlook to Thunderbird
2. Try to open the attachment
3 [review].

Actual Results:  
Everytime Media Player would start, sometimes the WMV would start and then stop
saying it was corrupt. The remainder of the time the WMV would open and run.

Expected Results:  
Open the file everytime

I have made no changes to the original installation of Thunderbird, my import
seemed to go normally and as I said, Media Player will open the attachments in
the Outlook files.
