Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 302095

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[walter sheets]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: thunderbird(HEAD) as of 5Apr2005

When trying to view the raw message source in thunderbird I get a popup Security
Warning box about trying to access a secure website.

The raw source of an email has nothing to do with any website, secure or otherwise.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Read an email in thunderbird
2.Hit CTRL-U or open the View->Page-Source menu
3.Look for the dialog box warning about secure websites.



Expected Results:  
I should get another window showing the raw source of the email, with no warning
dialog box.

Oops, important omission!

The warning dialog shows when I am in an IMAP/SSL mail account, not in a POP
account.  I still think the warning is not appropriate, although understandable.

Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317); Mac OS X 10.3.9

I can confirm this bug also affects the Mac. The security dialog reads

   "You have requested an encrypted page. The
    web site has identified itself correctly, and
    information you see or enter on this page can't
    easily be read by a third party.
    [] Alert me whenever I am about to view an encrypted page."

While the security dialog shouldn't appear in the first place, the workaround
is, naturally, to uncheck the alert option.

Counting me that makes 4 - I've seen this but can't cite the build, and it's not
happening for me in nightly version 1.0+ (20050603)

Does this happen 100% of the time?
Can any of you cause this on a more recent, nightly build using view source
against a message that fails in your current version?

I saw the same again as recently as yesterday, 05June.  I must admit
that I've never un-checked the 'alert me' box, since I only get this
warning when I try to forward phishing emails (down to two/week now).

Thunderbird version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908); Mac OS X 10.3.9

I can reproduce this on Thunderbird 1.5b1 with three separate IMAP servers which
have "Use secure connection (SSL)" selected.
