289080 - Headers-only: after downloading message body, I need to reopen message window to see the message

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[niksab]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050312 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050312 Firefox/1.0.1

With 'Download headers only' option set, I need to open the message and the
click the link to download the rest of the message. However, the message text is
not displayed immediately. I need to close the mesage window and open it again.
This happens only on Linux, NOT Windows.
I am using Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050404), Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r9, KDE 3.3.0
On a side note, it would be very useful if message bodies could be downloaded
without opening message window (by using context menu)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Account settings > Server settings check 'Fetch headers only' option
2.Get Mail
3.Open a downloaded message and 'Click here to download the rest of the message'

Actual Results:  
The message is downloaded, but not displayed - the message window is blank

Expected Results:  
The message text should be displayed immediately after downloading message body
