287126 - Image not displayed when attached by Firefox "Send Image"

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob Schaulis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

In both 1.0 and 1.01, when I bring a jpg file up in the browser from a local
file, then use the "Send image" from the drop down menu, both versions fail to
download the image to the Thunderbird Email. I previously used the Netscape
browser and Email client and never had a problem with this procedure. I either
am doing something wrong or Firefox/Thunderbird is not functioning as expected.

The procedure I have always used is:
1. Click on File drop down menu in Firefox,
2. Click on "Open File"
3. Navigate to the .jpg image you want to send.
4. Open file (it displays in Firefox)
5. Place cursor on image, and right click on image.
6. Click on "Send Image" in drop down menu.
7. That loads thunderbird compose with the file string on the first line of the
message area.
8. So far this is identical to the way I worked with Netscape.
9. After addressing and adding a subject, click on send. (the Email is sent)
10. What does not happen is that the image itself is not sent and displayed
in-line in the Email.
11. What does happen is that the File string of the image is sent.
What I do not know is whether this is as intended or if it is an oversight. I
hope someone can help.

In Mac, the same problem as bug287178 occurs by Thunderbird if Send Image is
executed.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
