(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Petra Treubel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird version 1.0.2 (20050317)

I only get attachments by sending mails directly from my company office to my
home office. If the mail is sending as a forwarding mail there is no readable
attachment.

In my company I have configured a forwarding rule for my mail account with MS
Outlook. There is a MS Exchange Server 2000 and different Outlook versions.

The configuration should all my mails forwarding to my private mail accounting.
If I get my mails with Thunderbird all attachments have the name "winmail.dat"
and the attachments are not readable. But if I use Outlook in my home office I
get all attachments from the forwarding mails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a Outlook rule to sent all mails from Exchange 2000 Server to POP3
mail account
2. Get the forwarding mail with attachment by using Thunderbird
3. Attachment has the name winmail.dat and is not readable

Actual Results:  
the same

Expected Results:  
I want to read the attachment

Duplicate of bug 77811 which is open, but bug 173693 is the same thing and was
marked WONTFIX.

As you can see, in the comment of the other bugs, you should set your client to
send message as plain text to avoid the problem.
